Disposable coffee cups

From 1 March 2019 visitors and staff will be charged 15p for a disposable coffee cup at all Wakehurst’s catering outlets. There is substantial evidence that paying for a cup is a more compelling method of changing habits than receiving a discount which is quickly forgotten. A charge creates an incentive to find a more financially sustainable alternative, reducing the amount of disposable packaging used. In much the same way that people now often carry a bag-for-life to avoid the 5p plastic bag levy, we hope that the new charge will reduce our environmental impact and positively reflect our commitment to sustainability.
