Law firm advises on paper cup recycling deal

A Greater Manchester solicitors firm has advised on a deal which will see 14 organisations including Starbucks, McDonald’s UK and Pret a Manger accelerate recycling of plastic-lined papers cups.

Altrincham-based Myerson Solicitors advised the Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE UK) on the agreement with organisations across the paper cup supply chain.

The companies signed up to the agreement are: Benders Paper Cups, Bunzl Catering Supplies, Caffe Nero, Costa Coffee, Dart Products Europe, Greggs, Huhtamaki, International Paper, McDonald’s UK, Nestlé, Pret A Manger, Seda Group, Starbucks, and Stora Enso.

It will see the signatories work towards a long-term, nationwide paper cup recycling solution, which complements and builds on the recycling activities achieved so far by the paper cup industry.

Using ACE UK’s extensive recycling expertise, the companies will fund an activity programme which will give many more people access to recycling for paper cups.
