E R I N A FA I R Erina Fair launches initiative T to combat waste o help combat the growing mountain of takeaway coffee cups ending up in landfill, Erina Fair Shopping Centre announced a partnership with Closed Loop, to recycle disposable cups used in the Centre. As part of Closed Loop’s Simply Cups Program, Erina Fair Shopping Centre is introducing five coffee cup recycling bins throughout the Centre and will be encouraging customers to recycle. The bins are shaped as coffee cups. Australians use more than one billion disposable coffee cups each year. The cups are estimated to be the second- largest contributor to litter waste, after plastic bottles. Most takeaway coffee cups end up in landfill, as the plastic lining in the cups cannot be processed in traditional recycling facilities. The plastic lining will take over 50 years to break down in landfill, and when disposed of incorrectly in a comingled or paper recycling bin, the entire bin contents are considered contaminated and sent to landfill.
