Business Info: Recycling paper cups into sketch pads
Specialist papermaker James Cropper is helping to divert some of the estimated 2.5 billion takeaway cups thrown away in the UK each year, by making an 80% recycled cartridge paper from used coffee cups.
Produced using Cropper's own CupCycling technology, the world's first process dedicated to upcycling single-use coffee cups, the 140gsm paper is being used in a range of cartridge sketch pads created for Seawhite of Brighton, a supplier of sketch books, pads and other art materials.
