Turn Your Used Vending Machine Cups Into Pencils!

Kafévend, the UK’s largest independent supplier of vending machines, is giving offices around the country the opportunity to participate in the vending machine Save-A-Cup scheme and turn used plastic cups into pencils.

With more than one billion cups collected so far, the recycling programme collects used vending machine cups and recycles them into more useful and reusable products. John Collins, managing director of Kafévend said: “The Save-A-Cup scheme is a great way to deal with the dozens of empty cups produced by staff using vending machines for their hot and cold drinks each day and is a great way to recycle. Companies taking this opportunity to join in demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental values and ethnical business practices.”

Collection of used cups is quick and easy with bins provided by the scheme. Placed next to the vending machine or in high traffic and restaurant areas for maximum catchment, collected cups are removed by the Save-A-Cup company and taken to local recycling plants.

Formed by the vending, food service and plastic industries, Save-A-Cup recycling aims to bring the number of cups collected in line with government targets for recycling packaging waste.

The recycling scheme can be used in conjunction with any Klix in-cup vending machine from Kafévend.

Enjoy A Cuppa That Cares With Kafevend

Kafévend, the UK’s leading independent supplier of floor standing and desk-top vending machines, is encouraging workers around the country to swap their usual brew for a cuppa that cares with the introduction of Percol Fairtrade beverages to its vending machine drinks menus.

Stocked in Klix machines nationwide, the Percol range of Arabica beverages was one of the first roast and ground coffees in the UK to bear the Fairtrade demarcation. That says Kafévend managing director John Collins, makes it the perfect choice for a mid-morning caffeine hit.

Kafévend and Klix are committed to the Fairtrade program, assuring growers in the developing world a fair and proper price for their crops. Responding to requests from our thousands of vending machine users, the Fairtrade Percol coffee range can now be found in Klix coffee machines supplied by Kafévend. Having won three top taste awards, the Percol Arabica blend is a tasty alternative to instant coffee from the office kitchen and has the added bonus of being environmentally-friendly!”

The beans used to make Percol coffees are sourced from small farms and communities supported by the Fairtrade programme. By encouraging sustainable land, crop and forest management and paying up to three times the free market price for the beans, Percol aims to make a positive difference, not only to the lives of the farmers but to the taste of the beans.

Available in Klix vending machines, the Percol range of sustainable coffees are served using the in-cup drinks system, guaranteeing flavour and freshness every time.


Kafévend supplies over 5000 companies in the UK with vending machines and vending machine drinks. One of the largest independent suppliers in the country, Kafévend has offices around the UK.
