25 February 2020: UPCOMING EVENT: 

PCRRG LATEST NEWS


Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group Plenary Event 2020
Date: Thursday 12 March, 2020

Paper cup recovery and recycling has been transformed in the UK in the past few years with more than 4,800 cup recycling points, over 20 waste operators providing cup collection services and new high street collection schemes for cups.
​

However, the Paper Cup and Recovery and Recycling Group (PCRRG) recognises that much more remains to be done to achieve a fully circular and sustainable system.
Our 2020 plenary session will highlight what the future holds for sustainable cup supply chains and identify how together we can respond to future pressures and opportunities.
  • Keynote speaker.
  • Interactive chair-led panel debates from PCRRG members and guest speakers from across the industry.
  • Focussed discussions with the opportunity for all attendees to input into shaping the PCRRG going forward.
The event is open to both PCRRG members and people and organisations that can help to deliver or influence paper cup recovery and recycling.
