From Jan. 1, 2024, there will be a ban in the Netherlands on single-use disposable products for on-site use. In addition, from mid-July 2023, there will be a requirement to offer reusable alternatives and a ban on providing plastic to-go packaging free of charge.
Businesses can still choose disposable cups for local consumption, provided they collect 75-90% of them for high-quality recycling. For to-go consumptions, it is simply enough to encourage customers to bring their own reusable cup, in line with the "Bring Your Own" principle. Research shows that the Dutch are leaving traditional disposable cups behind and enthusiastically opting for sustainability. Retulp is proud to offer a beautiful range of reusable cups and mugs to municipalities, offices, schools, hospitality venues and events.
Several offices have already made the leap to reusable coffee cups, and the enthusiasm is great. Take Heineken, for example: they already save 115,000 cups annually at a single office. This results in both a cost saving of €4,000 and a reduction in their carbon footprint. Care organization Topaz also made their sustainable switch: from 12,000 single-use cups per month to none at all. And at the Council of State? Thanks to Retulp, they have personalized Tumblers that are not only stylish, but also reduce disposable plastic.
