Daily in the UK we use more than 7 million disposable cups and over half a million are just dropped on the floor. To help raise awareness of the issue, Friday 4th October is No Disposable Cup Day.
The day has two aims:
Around half the coffee we drink in the UK is served in a disposable cup. In fact, the UK is one of the worst in the world for disposable cup waste, we throw away 2.5 billion cups a year – this would create a pile of disposable cup waste as big as the Albert Hall in London.
For the 2019/20 academic year, Host purchased over 8,000 reusable coffee cups for students living with us. The cups were handed our to our new students, when they moved into their Student Accommodation, we hope by giving nearly every student living with us a reusable cup we can make some dent in the 7 million cups used each year! The cups will also save our students money as many retailers now offer a discount off the cost of your cup of coffee when you use a reusable mug.
Plus! Many local or independent coffee shops will offer you a discount for using your Host cup, so the next time you need your coffee fix, remember to take and use your cup!
Unlike many environmental problems. This one is not hard to fix. It can be fixed overnight. Simply by saying no and taking a reusable cup with you.
To become more ‘environmentally friendly’, Host is launching the #HostEnvironmentalPledge campaign to encourage responsible behaviour and drive sustainability across our sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
It’s a simple campaign! If we can reduce our overall utilities (electric, water and gas) consumption by 1% then we will donate £10,000, 2% reduction means £20,000, 3% is £30,000 and so on, to 3 charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.
