As well as looking stunning, this beautifully created members pack for Bicester Heritage hides a little secret… the black board is actually made from recycled coffee cups.
The polyethylene lining that stops the cup getting soggy makes recycling difficult and takes a special process to separate the plastic from the paper. Through a collaboration between G F Smith the paper company and ‘CupCycling’, they manage to take 95% of the coffee cup and convert it to paper fibre with the remaining 5% of plastic waste being used as energy for the produsction of the recycled paper. So every B1 sheet of this paper contains at least five used coffee cups, saving them sitting it landfill!
