KILLARNEY COFFEE CUP PROJECT
Dismayed by the deluge of single-use coffee cups littering Killarney National Park, locals acted to tackle the problem. In summer 2023, the Killarney Coffee Cup Project was launched – a landmark initiative involving 25 independent coffee shops and 21 hotels working to create a lower-waste system. Residents and tourists alike now can enjoy takeaway drinks without the guilt thanks to a pioneering collaboration with 2GoCup. For a €2 deposit, you can get your drink served in a reusable cup, to be returned to any participating coffee shop. Just a year in, the initiative has kept more than 506,000 single-use cups from going to landfill or being discarded in the national park. Inspiringly, the project’s leaders are now working to spread the program across Ireland, starting in West Cork, Tullamore and parts of Wicklow. 2gocup.ie/killarney-cup-campaign-2
