promotional mugs latte levy

Reusable is the new Recyclable

Today, many consumers woke up to the news that their morning coffee may be costing a little more in the near future, as MPs called for a 25p charge on takeaway coffee cups ahead of a possible ban. In the UK alone, 2.5 billion disposable cups are thrown away each year, with less than 0.25% of them actually being recycled.

Because of this discovery, MPs aren’t just calling for a levy, but a complete ban by 2023 on non-recyclable cups. Much like the plastic bag 5p charge introduced in 2015, the new regulations may bring about new promotional marketing opportunities to capitalise upon.

With many coffee giants; such as the likes of Starbucks and Costa, starting to reward their customers for using their own mugs and tumblers, it won’t be long before the rest of the UK and their £9bn coffee habit joins suit.

At Sycal, we offer a wide range of promotional thermal mugs and reusable tumblers that can make your brand stand out whilst in the line for a latte. No matter what size, shape, colour or style you’re looking for, our team of merchandise experts are on hand to recommend the most effective promotional products to promote your brand or message.

No longer are these products limited to busy consumers on the go, but will now reach a younger, environmentally-conscious demographic. In addition to this, on average customers are 60% more likely to remember a brand should it be on a practical product rather than a novelty one, making travel mugs and tumblers an excellent promotional tool. Whether they’re used as gifts, giveaways, office equipment or resale, give your consumers a long-lasting and environmentally friendly memento of your business.
