A survey conducted on behalf of the Restaurant Association of Ireland found that 63% of Irish adults think recyclable cups should be excluded from the upcoming 'latte levy'

Around 200 million paper coffee cups are dumped in landfills every year.

Almost two-thirds of Irish consumers oppose a ban on single-use takeaway coffee cups, according to a new survey.

The data was collected on behalf of the Restaurant Association of Ireland (RAI), which opposes the Government’s proposed measures to limit the use of paper-based cups.
