Food to go

Coffee Cups
An estimated 2.5 billion coffee cups are thrown away each year and only 0.25% are recycled. 381,000 tonnes of coffee grounds are estimated to be brewed every year resulting in a million tonnes of coffee sent to landfills. Find out how we’re addressing coffee cups and grounds at Canary Wharf.
Straws
