Press release June 2011
Our Green Cup is now even Greener...
The Green Paper Cup was originally produced for customers who wanted to be more environmentally friendly by recycling cups; they can now be even more environmentally friendly with the New Green Paper Cup. The Green Earth Appeal will plant one tree for every 1000 cups sold. This will offset the carbon and replace the wood used in the manufacturing of the paper cups.
The Paper Cup Company is now working with Green Earth Appeal, to offset the carbon footprint produced by manufacturing paper cups, making the Green Cup an environmentally friendly paper cup.
The Green cup is a single wall hot cup, made from high quality material. Green Cups are in stock all year round and are available in a range of sizes. The Green Cup will have the Green Earth Appeal logo included in the design as well as the Save-a-Cup logo; this will show customers that they are actively responsible for their environmental impact.
In addition, the tree(s) planted on your behalf will help support some of the poorest families and help reduce the need for aid and handouts in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Planting a tree on deforested land will help stop desertification as the roots will draw water to the surface and regenerate the soil.
The Paper Cup Company is actively involved in supporting environmental schemes to find methods for recycling paper cups. The Paper Cup Company support the Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group and Save-a-Cup, who pick up used paper cups to recycle them into products such as tissue and packaging materials.
