Circular
x Refill Cup
Smarter Choices.
We are delighted to launch our partnership with not-for-profit organisation City to Sea and help champion their award-winning Refill campaign with a joint mission to stop plastic pollution at the source.
We strongly believe our days of carefree consumption are numbered and, that nothing has a single purpose, and everything has value – that is why for every Circular Refill Cup purchased we will donate 50% to City to Sea. This donation will help drive their pioneering Refill app which connects people with a global network of Refill Stations where they can eat, drink and shop without the pointless packaging. From a coffee on your commute, to drinking water on the go, or even shopping with less plastic, Refill puts the power to go packaging free at your fingertips and we are proud to be official partners of the next generation Refill app.
The Circular Refill Solution:
- We now produce over 300 million tonnes of plastic every year[1]. – up to half of which is single use[2].
- Perhaps most critically, just 2% of this plastic waste ends up being reused, and this is where the importance of circular design comes in because nothing is truly recycled until its reused.
- The UK reports less than 1% of its three billion cups are recycled due to the difficulties separating plastic lining from paper[3].
- Since 2018 5.4 million used cups have been given a new longer life as Circular Cups.
At Circular&Co. our ambition is to pool our 17 years’ experience with brilliant minds cross-industry to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. The world needs change, and people, communities and companies must create it. Together with Refill, we are developing a long-term partnership with the aim of introducing more innovative circular products to drive the adoption of reusables. Our collaboration will be supported by the principles of circular design, ensuring everything is manufactured from waste, designed for longevity and is fully recyclable. Collectively, we are offering accessible solutions and eliminating the very concept of waste. Click here to read our joint press release.
50%* from every Circular&Co. x Refill Reusable Cup sold will go to City to Sea, pioneers of the Refill campaign.
