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.
