The Conscious Cup Campaign is the initiative of a group of concerned individuals who seek to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of disposable cups in Ireland. The campaign hopes to increase the use of reusable cups, by encouraging cafes and other outlets to incentivise this through discounts and loyalty schemes. This will reduce waste going to landfill and littering our streets as most disposable cups are non-recyclable.
We welcome and encourage comments to our page but please keep comments on trend, we are here to try change attitudes towards disposable coffee cups not comment on business practices.
The Conscious Cup Campaign, was started in late 2016 by a group of concerned individuals who, inspired by similar initiatives of cafes and citizens around the world, are aiming to reduce and eventually eliminate single use cups in Ireland. We met through the Zero Waste Ireland Facebook Group, and now have the support of VOICE, an environmental charity with expertise in waste prevention initiatives and the Eastern Midlands Regional Waste Management Office.
