WE ARE COFFEE NOTES

Together we are a bunch of individuals passionate about print, design and the environment. These are the key ingredients in our shared excitement of producing something creative and useful that will not harm our seas or countryside.

Our collective knowledge spans more than 85 years and in that time we have seen our printing practices and environment change dramatically.
Coffee Notes is the collective idea that helps raise awareness for the issues surrounding the recycling of Coffee Cups. Only 1 in 400 cups in the UK will currently be recycled.

What makes the Coffee Cup so hard to recycle? It’s the Polyethylene that stops the cup going soggy that is difficult to remove. Our friends at James Cropper PLC in the Lake District has a process that does just that. They create vibrant papers and boards that we use to print and create beautiful Note Books.
