KLIX Save a cup Recycling

We are a founding member of Save a Cup; a not-for-profit organisation that collects and recycles polystyrene (plastic) cups. The recycling scheme offered by Save a Cup allows KLIX customers to recycle their used plastic cups and reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill sites.

How does it work?

Once a KLIX customer has joined the Save a Cup scheme they simply have to collect all of their used KLIX cups in special recycling bins. Save a Cup will collect the cups from the site on a regular basis and take them to a plastic recycling plant to be turned into useful products such as ice scrapers and cup trays.

Since helping to form Save a cup over one billion cups have been recycled. Each year we estimate that around 300 tonnes of KLIX cups are recycled and we want to double this figure over the next couple of years.

Did you know?

Some people think that plastic cups are bad for the environment, however, recyclable plastic cups are in many ways better than reusable china cups. This is because a lot of energy is needed to make a china cup and energy is also required to wash it after every use. Because our polystyrene cups are recyclable they are much better for the environment than people might think.
