Costa Coffee launches reusable contactless chip smart coffee cup

HC Plastics News:

For coffee lovers, this may be a good thing - a reusable cup that you can use to pay for drinks.

Known as the "Clever Cup," this cup has a chip on the bottom that saves you the hassle of pursing your wallet.

It is hoped that these paper cups will attract more people to stop using disposable cups because the plastic liner of the cups is often not recyclable.

The coffee cup was first sold at the Costa coffee shop, which itself is made from a recyclable coffee cup with silicone rubber on the bottom and a non-contact chip.

The technology in this cup can be used anywhere a customer sees a non-contact sign, and customers can get a 25 pence discount on a Costa using a reusable cup.

Jason Cotta, general manager of Costa Coffee, commented: “Although we are committed to ensuring that more take-away coffee cups are recycled and utilized, we also want to encourage and reward customers who help reduce the waste of takeaway coffee cups. ""

“We have offered 25 pence of hot drink discounts to customers who use reusable cups in all stores, and we hope this innovative smart cup will be an added bonus to promote the use of reusable cups.”

Rob Morgan, head of sales and collaboration at Barclays, says consumers today are looking for seamless and convenient payment methods.

“Our wearable chip technology allows almost any accessory to be converted into a smart payment device, unlocking the benefits of quick and easy shopping.”

“We are proud to work with Costa Coffee to provide another compelling reason for the UK to make reusable cups a part of everyday life.”

The new Smart Cup is priced at £14.99, and £1 per transaction is donated to the Costa Foundation, and from the end of November, it is available at all Costa coffee shops in the UK.

Ten years ago, the British "Daily Mail" launched a pioneering campaign aimed at eliminating the proliferation of plastic bags in British supermarkets. The cause of this movement was the publication of a heartbreaking photo of an endangered turtle entangled in a plastic bag on the front page of the newspaper.

They said their "anish The Bags" had a great success.

“Now, in this milestone series, we assure you that you can really make a difference – your actions can help save our beautiful world and its animals.”

"The campaign launched by the British "Daily Mail" is not meant to make you feel guilty about the plastics you rely on."

“On the contrary, we will guide you through a few small daily steps – at a fraction of the cost or effort – to significantly reduce the amount of plastic used.”

Even changing one habit—such as using reusable coffee cups instead of disposable cups—will help reduce the need for new plastics.

If every reader of the Daily Mail uses a cup only once a day instead of a one-time takeaway cup, millions of plastic-lined paper cups will not be landfilled within a year.

“This is simple math. Use a plastic bag twice and halve your plastic footprint. Buy a soap and you can save two or even three bottles of hand sanitizer. Inspire others, the effect will double.”

“We will show you how to double the recycling efficiency overnight, how to remove plastic from the kitchen, and how to avoid food packaging.”

“Better, you can even save the planet in shopping, using superb, reusable plastic substitutes. It’s never too late to start...”
