        They’d better send the money to the NHS before it collapses. You would think with all the problems Britain has they’d have more important things to think about. SMH.

        Such wisdom. Switch from biodegradable paper to ever existent plastic and help increase the rate of breast cancer. Yes plastic containers are a cause of cancer. And they know it!

        A. The cups are currently *not* biodegradable, and *are* plastic-lined. B. Why would permanent cups necessarily be plastic? Mine is ceramic, as are many. There’s no logic in your comment.

        You're an Elitist who can afford to aquire expensive hand crafted ceramic containers. Whilst we, the Middle Class back bone of any great nation are left to quench from a Dead Dinosaurs liquidised remains. Plus you conveniently forgot about the plastic causing breast cancer part!

        I did NOT forget about the breast cancer part, impoint d out that the paper cups are plastic lined, so you’re already sucking dead dinosaurs. And far from being an elitist, I have an extremely inexpensive permanent cup that is NOT made out of plastic. PFO.

        Coffee businesses should be obliged to use materials such as @d2ematerials , which is made from biodegradable materials and will break down in about 60 days!

        Then they'll tax the use of solid cups because they take too much water to wash.
