Single use cups and bottles are one of the most wasteful everyday habits in the world. Billions are produced each year, used once, and thrown away, with many ending up in landfill, waterways, or the ocean, where they can take hundreds of years to break down. Even items labelled as recyclable often never are, due to contamination or limited recycling infrastructure. The result is unnecessary waste, increased carbon emissions, and long term damage to the environment. This is not a distant issue or someone else’s responsibility. It is a daily choice, repeated millions of times, and one we have the power to change.
