The Cup Collective

Wij zijn zeer verheugd te kunnen melden dat na uitvoerig overleg met de betreffende instanties de verwerkingsroute van de papieren koffiebeker via the Cup Collective voldoet aan de voorwaarde in de door de staatssecretaris op 27 december 2023 (Staatscourant 2024, 808 d.d. 22-01-2024) aan de ILT gegeven aanwijzing om niet te handhaven!     De papieren koffiebeker kan dus gewoon gebruikt worden mits zij maximaal 5% of minder PE bevat én de exploitant van de voedseluitgifte locatie aantoonbaar 75% van de aangeboden hoeveelheid drinkbekers inzamelt voor 100% recycling.   100% recycling wordt nu door the Cup Collective gegarandeerd en geaccepteerd en dat is goed nieuws. In dit proces wordt de PE coating van het papier gescheiden en worden zowel de papiervezel als het PE materiaal ingezet als waardevolle grondstoffen voor nieuwe producten.   Voor vragen of aanvullende info, laat je gegevens achter op de site van The Cup Collective: https://lnkd.in/efX_CVp7   thecupcollective.eu Iedere beker telt!

Circularity Success Stories from 4evergreen alliance profile successful examples of fibre-based packaging solutions. We love the 2023 project highlighted in the "Improving collection and sorting" category with The Cup Collective, a collaboration between Huhtamaki, Seda International Packaging Group, Stora Enso, and McDonald's. It's a European project that helps enable multiple cycles of cup fibre recycling, allowing recycled fibres to be reused and remade into new paper packaging products. We are looking forward to hearing about the new 2024 projects, but you can read more about the 2023 Circularity Success Stories here: https://lnkd.in/gkaauzcJ

👏 💚 Let's raise our paper cups to a fantastic achievement in Dublin! Since we launched 6 months ago, we've successfully collected 95,200 paper cups ready for recycling! This achievement is not just a number; it's a testament to the power of collective action in building a more sustainable future.💚👏 By choosing to recycle our paper cups, we're not only diverting waste from landfills but also conserving valuable resources and reducing our environmental impact. Every cup recycled represents a step forward in our journey towards a greener, cleaner Dublin. It's a reminder that each small action adds up to make a significant difference in our community and beyond. A huge thank you to the dedication and commitment of individuals and businesses across the city – we couldn't have done this without you. Let's continue this momentum and inspire even more individuals and businesses to join us in our recycling efforts. Together, we can make change happen – no cup left behind! #RecyclingMilestone #Dublin #TheCupCollective #GreenFuture #Recycling

"We launched in Trinity on the Monday of Green Week 2024 and the bins have been filling up quickly since then! By introducing this system in Trinity we hope to drastically reduce the number of single-use coffee cups entering our general waste bins. "

Simple. Easy. No cost. Consumers want the opportunity to do the right thing for the planet in a way that seamlessly integrates into their everyday lives. And that’s the best way to drive serious environment change. At The Cup Collective we’ve listened hard and heard what people want: - Making everyday life guilt-free through effortless eco-habits - Convenient, on-site recycling locations - Easy to use systems – simple separation of materials - No additional cost (unlike penalty charges and levies) We’ve designed our robust recycling system to meet this demand for sustainable choices and we’re already changing the way consumers behave. But to make our system even easier, convenient and accessible, we need more partners so we can be in more places and make effortless eco-habits a no-brainer for even more people. Join our collective and together we can transform paper cup recycling at scale.

♻️ On Global Recycling Day, we’re proud of the work we’re doing to build robust, at-scale systems to contribute solutions for the recycling challenge. ♻️ Did you know that by recovering the fibres from used paper cups, the material can be turned into other paper or board products, which can then also be recycled. This is known as open-loop recycling, where the recycling process converts secondary raw material into a new product e.g. paper cups become magazine paper, become packaging and so on. ♻️ This process is generating added value by prolonging the wood fibre's life-cycle. In some cases, the fibre from paper cups can be recycled multiple times, as our graphic shows. ♻️ So, on this Global Recycling Day we’re asking you to join our collective. Together, we can achieve our circular ambition and give paper cups multiple new lives. #GlobalRecyclingDay #EveryCupCounts #Recycle #CircularEconomy
