Recyling Flavia Packs
Recycling your paper cup
Every year, people in the UK drink millions of cups of coffee and tea from vending machines in the workplace. Normal paper cups, often used for hot drinks, contain an oil-based plastic lining which prevents them from being recycled. Finding a more environmentally friendly alternative has been a real challenge - but we overcame it! We are proud to introduce the UK's first eco-friendly hot drinks vending cup: The UK Vending Planet cup.
UK Vending Planet cup is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paper cups, which uses PLA, a bio-based plastic lining derived from corn which is fully compostable.
Composting - composting is the process of breaking down organic waste into compost which can be used to add nutrients back into the soil.
Using the 'Planet Cup' means you can now enjoy the same great tasting FLAVIA Fresh-ground Coffees and Real Leaf Teas, whilst doing your bit for the planet.
