With permission from The AVA, we reproduce the content of a recent email concerning Vending Operator’s obligation to facilitate cup recycling. Do join the Webinar to learn more and ensure that you are not caught out next year. Planet Vending will publish more on this subject over the coming months.
Dear AVA Member
From October 2024 if you sell drinks in single use paper cups you will have to collect and recycle all your used cups – and report the data to Defra.
Under this new legislation every vending operating company will have to facilitate cup recycling by providing collection bins or working with waste management companies.
The AVA Environment Committee’s summary paper outlined the expected impacts of this new legislation as part of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) across the whole of the UK.
Find out what this means to your business – and what steps you can take to manage the costs at the AVA’s special webinar on 13th June. This webinar brings together a team of experts who will share their invaluable knowledge, insights, and practical strategies to implement and manage new legislation.
This webinar will be combined with a ‘virtual’ AVA AGM, but the focus will be on the potential business impact of mandatory cup takeback.
We will have experts from VALPAK and the National Cup Recycling Scheme who will take you through the challenges and option as the new legislation comes into force.

Date of Webinar – 13TH June 2023
