8 million disposable coffee cups are thrown away every day in the UK, with only 4% of these recycled.

Better Bankside and Team London Bridge BIDs have joined forces with recycling experts Paper Round to launch a paper cup recycling scheme spanning SE1.

After launching the scheme in 2020, we are now looking to action the second phase of the project and engage with Bankside and London Bridge's coffee retailers.

Join us on Tuesday 11 May from 3pm - 4pm for an online briefing where we will provide:

• an introduction to the project

• an update on what we've achieved since the project launch in January 2020

• details on how you can help us reach our goal of recycling 2 million coffee cups.

The project is facilitated by The Cup Fund, a national initiative run by environmental charity Hubbub.
