UK’s first multi-brand returnable cup scheme launched in Glasgow The UK’s first multi-brand returnable drinking cup scheme has been launched in Scotland in an effort to reduce waste from single-use products.
Gavin Ellis, co-founder of Hubbub, said: “We know disposable cup waste is an issue Scotland is keen to tackle so we are delighted to launch the UK’s first cross-brand returnable cup initiative here in Glasgow.
“By making it easy and convenient for people to choose reusable cups, we hope Borrow Cup will shift habits and help to make reusable cups the norm.
Customers purchasing a drink at any participating store will be asked if they would like to use a Borrow Cup for a £1 deposit and will receive a discount or loyalty rewards at most stores.
Hubbub says around three-quarters of people in the UK own a reusable cup, but only a third use them at least once a month.
