Packaging group DS Smith (London / UK; www.dssmith.com) says its UK paper mill in-Kent can recycle plastic-lined paper cups. According to the company, there are two main challenges to recycling single-use cups - removal of the plastic lining and ensuring the cups are not badly contaminated by food. DS Smith believes its cup recycling "radically improves the UK's ability to reprocess its used coffee cups." The firm belongs to the Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group (PCRRG; www. pcrrg.uk), comprising members from the cup supply and recovery chain in the UK and Europe.
