Our Stance
We champion recycling, it is the ultimate environmental solution for single-use packaging to ensure valuable resources can live again, contributing to a circular economy.
For a long time, our economy has operated on a linear model. That is, we take, make, use and dispose of resources giving them only one life before they are sent to landfill.
Moving to a circular economy is about minimising waste to keep resources in use for as long as possible. Transitioning to a circular economy is vital to sustaining our planet for future generations.
Cup & Carry is also dedicated to drive sustainability through product development innovations, always focusing on improving our products for our customers and our environment. We are as passionate about protecting our planet as we are about printing your beautiful packaging. That’s why we are super proud to only offer products that are also kind to the environment.
Cups
Our revolutionary RecycleMe™ cups are the next generation of environmentally friendly cups. Unlike traditional hot cups, our RecycleMe™ cups feature a unique lining that enables them to be recycled. Backed by a dedicated collection service, RecycleMe™ cups can be diverted from landfill and recycled into high-quality paper products - creating a circular economy. Coffee cups one day… paper the next! Find out more here.
Alternatively, drop off or send your RecycleMe™ cups back to us and we can recycle them for you!
Bags
From one sustainable product to another, all our carry bags are 100% recyclable through kerbside recycling systems - including the handles! AND are also compostable.
We are also super excited to announce we are transitioning to bags made from 100% recycled material!
We have also done extensive strength testing on our bags to ensure that they are sturdy enough to be used, reused and used again!
Tissue, Food Wraps & Wrapping Paper
Our tissue and wrap range is also recyclable through kerbside recycling systems and also compostable!
Inks
All of our inks are plant based (vegan) meaning they are environmentally sustainable and also non-toxic meaning they are food safe!
Lids
Once you are finished with your lid, it can easily be recycled by putting it in any public recycling bin or your home kerbside recycling bin!

So what is next?
If you’ve used one of our carry bags or wraps… once you’ve finished with it, simply place it in your household recycling bin. For RecycleMe™ cups, you will find RecycleMe™ Collection Bags in the carton with your cups.

We want to help our customers and end users make the right decision when disposing of their packaging, this is why you will find sustainability messaging on the base or bottom of all our products. Talk to our friendly team about what can and can't be removed.
