The Foodservice Packaging Association (FPA) and Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group (PCRRG) have launched an industry-wide Manifesto with the objective of significantly increasing paper cup recovery and recycling rates by 2020.
More than 30 companies have joined the initiative and signed an industry-wide “paper cup manifesto”.
The stated goal of the signatories is reportedly “to ensure that the greater majority of the UK population will have access to information, schemes and facilities that enable used paper cups to be sustainably recovered and recycled” by 2020. The announced measures to achieve the goal include investment and funding of recycling, disposal and collection projects.
