The Lush x Change Please Pop-Up Discourages Single-Use Plastic Waste
Laura McQuarrie — August 13, 2018 — Eco
For a limited time this summer, Lush Cosmetics will be hosting the Lush x Change Please coffee pop-up in London as part of an initiative to encourage reduced plastic use.
Those who come prepared to the pop-up with a reusable cup will have the chance to get their coffee, iced coffee or tea for free. Rather than giving out wasteful single-use cups for those who do not come with their own drinking vessel, Lush will be sharing a limited-edition reusable coffee cup that's made from six used cups.
As well as sharing coffee in an environmentally friendly way, the pop-up cafe will also serve as a spot where people can pick up inspiration and a few tips on other ways they may reduce their plastic consumption.
