Paper Cup Company recognised for planting 5,000 trees

The Paper Cup Company, suppliers of disposable paper cups and containers to a wide range of clients, has had its environmental responsibility recognised with presentation of a certificate to mark the planting of more than 5,000 trees to make its products carbon neutral.

For each 1,000 cups manufactured, a donation of 99p goes to the Green Earth Appeal to facilitate the planting of a tree which offsets the carbon footprint of production, effectively ensuring Carbon Neutral Cups.

Marvin Baker, founder of Green Earth Appeal, said: “As a partner of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) these trees are currently being planted in Haiti and have had a significant effect in an island that was devastated by an earthquake in 2010.
