<p>In the nine months to September 2018, before the 25p surcharge, catering (non-banqueting)
sales for hot beverages was £655,640 incl VAT. In the nine months to date, after the
surcharge, hot beverage (non-banqueting) sales were £727,203 incl VAT.</p><p>There
has been a reduction from 58,000 paper cups per month being sold to 15,000 on average.

waste shows that many of the compostable cups are disposed of within the Estate.</p>
