EPS KeepCups

EPS KeepCups

According to Australian non-profit organisation Planet Ark, plastic waste from coffee cups accounts for a heaving 60,000kg of Australia’s landfill annually.

Edithvale Primary School encourages the use of reusable cups by offering two KeepCup options branded with the EPS logo at a discounted price.

Disposable Takeaway Cups vs Reusable Cups

Our shocking coffee cup problem

  • Millions of takeaway coffee cups end up in landfill in Australia every day
  • Paper-based takeaway coffee cups are lined with a membrane of plastic to make them waterproof, which means they are not recyclable as paper or cardboard, and are not biodegradable.
  • Unfortunately, throwing takeaway coffee cups into the recycling often ends up doing more harm than good.
  • By mixing takeaway coffee cups in with other paper and cardboard, it contaminates the entire collection of legitimate recycling and send the whole lot off to landfill.
