UK politicians want the government to introduce a 25p (33 cents) "latte levy" on disposable coffee cups in an effort to eliminate waste. MPs say if cup recycling doesn't improve drastically by 2023, they'll be banned completely.
SEE ALSO: I'm a millennial and, believe me, coffee is not the reason I'm brokeThe latte levy was proposed in a new report authored by the Environmental Audit Committee, which revealed that many coffee consumers "mistakenly think that disposable cups are widely recycled."
The report says disposable coffee cups are "made from paper and lined with plastic" which renders them waterproof. But, the problem is: the plastic lining "can't be removed by most recycling facilities."

Even when consumers place coffee cups in recycling bins, there's currently no way for recycling plants to recycle them.
"The UK throws away 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups every year; enough to circle the planet five and a half times," said Mary Creagh MP, chair of the committee, in a statement.
"Almost none are recycled and half a million a day are littered," added Creagh. "Coffee cup producers and distributors have not taken action to rectify this and Government has sat on its hands."
Per the report, the latte levy on takeaway coffee cups "would remove some of the financial burden from local authorities and council taxpayers."
Mary Creagh MP, chair of the committee, says the UK's coffee shop industry is "expanding rapidly," so it's necessary to take action now to kickstart a "revolution" in cup recycling.
The report sheds light on the UK's growing love affair with coffee, and the resultant impact on coffee cup use. According to the report, "almost half of all coffees and hot drinks" are sold in disposable cups. And, the number of coffee shops has increased four-fold since 2000.
Many coffee lovers are not in favour of the 25p tax, and instead feel that packaging changes would be more conducive.
