Reusable coffee cups

Many people use disposable cups for drinking hot drinks while sitting in a coffee shop, despite the fact that they are considered a ‘takeaway’ item.

This creates a huge amount of unnecessary waste.

Disposable paper coffee cups are made from paper and a layer of plastic to make the cup waterproof. This lining makes them difficult (but not impossible) to recycle, and there is no easy collection system for recycling these cups.

Based on a study conducted by the Ministry of Climate Change, The UAE’s waste generation per capita is about 1.3 kilograms a day, which is among the world’s highest. UAE Residents are now realizing the damage that disposable cups and half of respondents in the survey want disposable coffee cups and plastic bags banned. (Source: https:// t.ly/uUvA)

Additionally, most people that used disposable coffee cups do not know how single-use coffee cups are made. Coffee cups are made from paper that comes from trees.
