<p>We are unable to provide purchasing data prior to 2017. In 2017 DFID London purchased
approximately 4,300 ‘Vegware’ cups every month. Made from plant material – not plastic
– these cups are organic, compostable and can be recycled with the food waste. In
2017 DFID Scotland took delivery of approximately 3,000 card and plastic cups. There
are schemes in both DFID offices to encourage use of reusable coffee cups, with 10%
off the price of a coffee when staff use their own cup. In DFID Scotland reusable
cups are available for purchase, with the aim of bringing down the number of disposable
coffee cups used.</p>
