With the spotlight firmly on plastic waste and how we can reduce its use, we are taking a look at how promotional products can encourage people to reuse rather than throw away.
A lot of recent press has been given to single use plastic – in particular one-use takeaway cups. With approx. 70 million cups of coffee being consumed every day in the UK, an estimated 2.5 billion (yes, BILLION) takeaway cups are being thrown away in a year. Less than 1% are being recycled because of polyethylene coating used in their production. With a rapid growth in coffee shops set to continue, this number could double in the next five years.*
With a range of high profile businesses now offering discounts for customers using their own mug, and one coffee chain announcing a total ban on single use plastic cups this year, the reusable travel mug is the promo item of the year.
Encourage your customers to ditch the disposables with a fantastic range of reusable travel mugs and cups – here is our pick of the best:

The bestselling Americano is made in the UK and is a take-away style, double-walled insulated travel mug. It has a twist on, no spill lid and is supplied with a rubber grip to make holding your coffee more comfortable. You can mix and match mug and lid colours to create your perfect mug.
