cups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A PIONEERING scheme allowing coffee drinkers to borrow and return reusable cups has prevented 8,000 single-use cups from ending up in landfill in just four months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the equivalent of preventing 104kg of plastic from being thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate, the 20 participating cafes across the city offered a free hot drink to the first 50 customers who used the scheme this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t agree with buying plastic cups every day, but carrying a reusable one around all day is a pain,&#8221; said Emma Renton, 21, customer at Da Coffi in Central Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I like that I can come in here and get a fresh cup, and let someone else deal with the clean up.\u201d

even more positive impact,\u201d said\u00a0Carolyn Brownell, executive director of <a

initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FOR Cardiff said that more than 2.5 billion takeaway coffee cups are disposed of each year, which is enough to stretch around the world five and a half times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe definitely use more of the reusable cups in a day than disposable cups now, we have only had to do one order of disposable cups since Christmas,\u201d said Rosie at Da Coffi.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.citytosea.org.uk\">City to Sea\u2019<\/a>, the environmental non-profit organisation, also helped develop the scheme and campaigns to reduce plastic pollution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFour months on from the launch of the Refill Return Cup Scheme, thousands of cups have been prevented from littering the city\u2019s parks or ending up in landfill,&#8221; ,\u201d said George Clark, programme lead at City to Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Cardiff\u2019s businesses and residents have risen to the challenge \u2013 and we expect other cities to follow in their footsteps.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cups, made by a Cornish company, are made with recycled materials that are designed to be washed and reused up to 1,000 times before being downcycled at the end of their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the Welsh Government aims to recycle, reuse or compost up to 70% of its waste in a bid to become a \u2018zero-waste
