SINGLE-use paper cups are being ‘ditched’ by one Limerick business community, a transition described by the Mayor as “essential”.

Businesses in Adare are ditching single use paper cups for reusable 2GoCups, to embrace sustainability and the circular economy.

A reusable cup rental scheme is being rolled out across the village and a new Adare Green Business Hub was launched by the Mayor of Limerick, John Moran.

2GoCups are in some participating locations across the country, with 13 in Limerick and one in Newcastle West. Adare is the latest addition to the scheme.

The 2GoCups are €2 and are filled with your drink of choice by your local café. They can be brought back and reused or returned.
