A World First

Award Winning Innovation

Turning Paper Cups into Beautiful Bespoke Paper
CupCycling™ is all about collaboration. Working with supply chain partners and brands who care about the environment. Coffee outlets, cafés or retailers as well as other businesses can send used paper cups to James Cropper for Cupcycling™, by working with our recycling and waste management partners. The cups are collected and baled close to source, so that they can be delivered to us efficiently on a large scale.

We Rescue the Fibres

Over 178 years of innovation

95% of cup waste is converted back in to paper and the remaining 5% of plastic is used for energy recovery in the production of recycled paper.

We Create Beautiful Papers

Pioneering products
