The UK’s first reusable cup scheme has launched in Glasgow in a drive to reduce single use products.<br /><br />Borrow Cup is now available at over 40 locations across the city including Costa and Caffè Nero shops, Burger King, Tinderbox and Sprigg. <br /><br />Customers can choose to pay a £1 deposit for the reusable cup when purchasing a drink, and then the next time they go to one of these locations they have the choice to either swap the cup for a clean one, return it and get their deposit back, or they can drop it off at any return point for a £1 e-voucher. <br /><br />If this initial three month period proves successful there are plans to expand the scheme across Scotland. <br /><br />Over 388 million disposable cups are used each year across Scotland and while 3 in 4 people own a reusable cup, only a third say they use it at least once a month. <br /><br />Discounts and extra loyalty points at most participating locations are being offered to customers of the Borrow Cup to as encouragement.
