WREXHAM, North Wales, UK – Frugalpac opened a manufacturing facility in Wrexham, North Wales, UK, in February 2019 for manufacturing its Frugal Cup coffee cup.
Frugalpac’s best known product, the Frugal Cup, is a paper cup made from recycled paperboard that can be recycled as part of the mainstream waste process.
The factory will help meet the demand for the company’s Frugal Cup disposable coffee cups in the UK. The Frugal Cup is an environment-friendly solution to address coffee cup waste in the country, where approximately 2.5 billion coffee cups a year are used and thrown away.
The number of coffee shops in the country is forecast to increase to approximately 30,000 by 2025, due to the growing consumer demand for coffee. Frugalpac’s environment-friendly coffee cups are expected to increase paper cup recovery and recycling rates in the UK.
Developed with a seven-figure investment, the new plant is expected to create employment for 20 locals for managing the production of the cups.
Frugalpac backs Scotland’s first paper coffee cup recycling initiative
Frugalpac has confirmed it will back Scotland’s first paper cup recycling initiative.
Launched in Glasgow by Keep Scotland Beautiful, the Cup Movement is aimed at stopping single-use cups going to landfill, transforming recycling and encouraging reuse.
With 95 million of Scotland’s 500 million single-use cups being used in Glasgow, the movement is bringing together public, private and third sector organisations together in a city-wide collaboration to encourage sustainable behaviour. Currently, just 4% of single-use cups are recycled in Scotland.
