'I am Not a Paper Cup' is a reusable, double walled, thermal 350ml ceramic mug with a re-sealable silicon lid that'll keep your coffee safe, and reduce your need for paper cups (which only end up being thrown away). Take a small step to reducing your carbon footprint, and alleviate any eco guilt. Makes a great gift too!

"It’s great! How could anyone bear to drink their morning coffee in ghastly unsustainable polystyrene after the delights of this glorious, green mug. Everyone should have one."
Catherine Jones, Psychologies Magazine

An astounding 31 billion cups of coffee are drunk in the UK every year!

This figure includes a huge number of takeway coffees in paper cups.

For example, despite introducing a 25p discount for using your own mug or flask, Starbucks hands out 50,000 paper cups a day! Although their paper cups are made from recycled material, they cannot be recycled again because of the wax coating that holds the fluid in the cup. This means that 18.25 million Starbucks' paper cups are thrown away every year and end up on UK landfills.

I'm Not a Paper Cup is dishwasher safe.

Dimensions: 3.5" diameter; 6" tall

This product usually ships within 24 hours. Standard UK delivery cost is £3.95.

Some stats about paper:

33% of what we throw away is paper and cardboard.

The average family uses 6 trees worth of paper a year.

Every year we need a forest the size of Wales to provide all of the paper we use in Britain.
