Glasgow’s first disposable cup-free coffee festival
The recent Glasgow Coffee Festival made the brave move to be the first coffee festival to ban all disposable coffee cups. More than 18,000 disposable cups were saved from going to landfill. With more than 55 businesses taking part in the event and 1800 attendees, making the switch to reusables was a bold move for festival organisers. Ticket holders were incredibly supportive of the move and made it possible by turning out in droves with their reusable cups in hand to enjoy a weekend of delicious speciality coffee. Lisa Lawson, organiser of Glasgow
Coffee Festival and founder of Dear Green Coffee Roasters, said: “It was an ambition we’d had for the festival for a while as events tend to generate an excess volume of waste. The idea always seemed like an insurmountable challenge to implement. 2018 was finally the year to make it happen! I was over the moon when KeepCup partnered with the event to make a ‘reusables only’ event achievable.”
