Coffee cups

Brits consume 98 million cups of coffee daily, but 6.85 million paper cups end up in the trash each day. These cups are not biodegradable due to plastic coatings and lids, resulting in a carbon footprint equivalent to 33,000 cars in a year. Brits love coffee. 98 million cups of coffee are consumed in the UK every day. But have you ever considered how many paper cups are thrown into the trash per day? 6.85 million. Sadly, most of the cups are not biodegradable because they contain plastic coatings and lids. The carbon footprint produced by them is equivalent to that produced by over 33,000 automobiles in a year.
