it worked for the bag tax at supermarkets too - until Foodstuffs decided to take it off.
Martin,
indeed, most interested in some ideas, i have considered a large prominent public sculpture, perhaps temporary and built of throwaway cup waste, but an actual idea has not been developed... cheers
sorry it's www.martinadlington.webs.com
Hi Joseph - may I suggest an art project of some kind to draw attention to the number of coffee cups used each hour/day?? I am an environmental artist in AK & work with all manner of trash....am sure I can come up with some ideas for you if you are…
Another small success: Coffee Supreme are also soon to be offering a re-usable option for the take-away customer. Seems the campaign first considered above could in fact be lead from within the coffee industry. The next step will be to have throw-aw…
i hear Peoples coffee are now acknowledging the worth of takeaway cup as resource/waste and charging extra for takeaway coffees in disposable cup??? If so, well done to Peoples. I will be keen to see this spread to other cafes
An opportunity for budding gardeners, permaculturists and guerilla acivists to discuss and develop methods and challenge eco-philosophical perspectives
I always ask for 'No Lid'. At first your local barista will insist, but eventually they will remember and hand your coffee or hot chocolate over sans lid. My favourite guy on Albert Street even walks my coffee out to me to say hello. I walk fast, bu…
Hi Isabella,
28c figure estimated during discussion with owner of wgtn leading roastery. I agree the hygiene line is feeble, the barista who mentioned that was scared to touch a cup that he did not know where it has been, so then have to wash his ha…
@Joe - where did the 28c figure come from? i've had lower figures quoted at me as the reason for the extra effort of managing reused cups (see below) not being worth a barista's time.
The "hygiene" argument from baristas is a rather feeble excuse -…
Hey, yes and finally we have purpose designed re-usable takeaway coffee cups in Wellington and they are available thanks to Milk Crate Cafe on Ghuznee st. Get on down there and buy your own one, parade it around town and encourage other coffee outle…

extra charge for takeaway is a good idea. I've seen that done before with food at restaurants/cafes. why not for coffee as well. would certainly encourage people to sit down and drink their coffee.
though from my own perspective and I think it's co…
yes indeed, back to the original concern, modern expectation of disposable convenience and how to demonstrate the negative implications. What about a 20c extra charge for coffee in disposable takeaway cups? They cost the cafe 28c each anyway, and th…
i think the hutamaki paper cups come from further away, perhaps europe?

Welcome aboard! Running your own business aye? What are you up to?
Regarding the cups, I think making contact and discussing it with Vodaphone is a good first step. Provide some suggestions and encouragement. The biodegradable cup idea is a goodie. I would also suggest they give away reusable coffee cups of a good small size. Yes it costs more but then people are carrying aroud the branding for longer. Having other folk supporting your idea is also a good move. Use a bit of web 2.0 - this site is a good start, as is starting a facebook group. I'm thinking somehow using texting would be a good idea since it is a mobile company you are working with.
I hope all is good in your world
