Welcome to the web site of the Paper Cup Recovery & Recycling Group, an alliance of the companies and organisations involved in the supply chain of paper cups used throughout the UK.

The group was formed in 2007 to encourage the recovery of used paper cups and to address any issues in the recycling of these cups into valuable new materials and / or energy. members of the group cover all areas of a cup's life from the manufacture of the basic paper materials through to the cup of coffee that is sitting on your desk while you browse this website, beyond to the final destiny of the paper cup.

The group aims to open up a series of options for recycling, rather than a single dedicated route, and intends that individual circumstances at the point where the cup comes to the end of its life should be the key factors in determining the optimal route for recycling.

We invite you to explore the information contained in the website and welcome you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding recovery and recycling of paper cups.
