🌍 This Earth Day, let’s make reuse the norm

3 billion cups are binned every year in the UK and most never get recycled.
Recycling helps, but returnables and reuse are even better.

That’s where Borro comes in 🧡

1️⃣ Grab your coffee in a Borro cup and pay a £2 deposit.

2️⃣ Enjoy discounts every time you reuse the cup at ANY Borro venue.

3️⃣ Return the cup to ANY Borro venue and get your £2 deposit back!

The cups are cleaned and reused to keep waste out of landfill.

Ditch single-use today and choose - because one small swap can brew big change.
