Simply Cups has grown rapidly over the last three years and our award-winning scheme now comprises over 90 Members and is continually innovating to seek the most environmentally, socially and economically beneficial outcome. For example, recent innovation now means that we are able to manufacture new functional products from used cups, that can be sold back to those businesses from whom we collect. This can also be recovered and recycled once they have reached their end-of-life -how circular is that!!
