We’re excited to share some big news — meet the Cup Club Bude logo! 💚
This autumn, Bude will become the first town in Cornwall to launch a returnable cup scheme. Starting with Crooklets Beach Cafe, customers will be able to swap single-use takeaway cups for a simple borrow → enjoy → return system.
We’re delighted to be partnering with Circular&Co., the Cornwall-based pioneers of reusable products, who have generously supported us to make this pilot viable. Their backing means we can launch Cup Club Bude and get reusable cups into people’s hands this October.
How Cup Club Works
The idea is simple:
- Borrow your drink in a Cup Club cup for a £1 deposit.
- Enjoy your coffee — at the beach, on the go, or wherever you like.
- Return your cup to Crooklets Cafe (with more cafés to follow as the scheme grows) and either collect your deposit or borrow another cup for next time.
It’s easy, affordable, and better for the planet. 🌍
An Added Bonus
And if you want to support our scheme further, please consider returning your cup to our Big Cup drop-off and leaving your £1 to help grow our pilot even further.
Get Involved
We’d love to hear from you:
- Do you already use reusables?
- Would Cup Club Bude make it easier for you to cut down on single-use cups?
Your feedback will help us shape the scheme as it grows. Please share your thoughts with us via the contact form.
