Magdalene College KeepCups

Magdalene KeepCups

Enjoy your tasty beverage whilst saving the planet!

A JCR led sustainability initiative to reduce the amount of waste produced in College has resulted in the introduction of our new KeepCups, a reusable coffee cup you keep and reuse rather than throw away!

It is estimated that 2.5 billion disposable cups are thrown away each year in the UK and last year fewer than 1 in 400 were recycled, meaning millions end up in landfill.

Our cups can be used in Magdalene College Library (Tom has given them the Librarian thumbs up) and can also get you some great hot drinks discounts in all University Department Cafés and Butteries, as well as other much-loved coffee houses across Cambridge.

Once used 15 times you’ve reached the breakeven point on your KeepCup's life cycle and every time you use it after that it is a bonus for the planet!

If you would like to purchase a KeepCup please contact the Alumni and Development Office (Mallory A).
