What happens to your collected cups?

One of the reasons paper cups including coffee cups cannot be recycled in kerbside recycling is because of their waterproof lining. Both plastic and plant-based linings cannot be recycled in traditional recycling.

Simply Cups is Australia's first and largest paper cup recycling program. We save millions of cups from landfill and give them a second life.

Once cups are collected, we process them and our manufacturing partners make sustainable products.
