Matters Arising

Responsible Procurement

The Committee was advised that Officers had met with the only processor in the UK that was currently capable of recycling plastic lined cardboard coffee cups. A proposal was being drawn up for a campaign in late Autumn to encourage businesses to provide collection points in City of London offices for coffee cups to be collected for processing. The campaign would also seek support and funding from the major coffee retailers to promote the scheme and provide some infrastructure. Several large coffee retailers had already expressed a positive initial interest in supporting such a campaign. Conversations were also being held with Keep Britain Tidy and other national environmental charities to gain their support and advice.
