Despite environmental committee’s urging the UK government is hesitant to introduce a ‘latte levy’
Although fewer than one in 400 disposable coffee cups are recycled in the UK, the government has decided not to introduce cup charges or recycling targets. Responding to an environmental audit committee report, which recommended urgent action to tackle the country’s ever-growing mountain of single-use cups, the government promised to instead focus on anti-littering messages and voluntary producer initiatives.
