Paper Towels and Coffee Cups
We collect used paper towels and coffee cups and help turn them into Processed Engineered Fuel (PEF).
It’s estimated 254 million tonnes of paper towels and 16 billion coffee cups go to landfill globally each year.
Coffee cups and paper towel waste is collected by Mates on the Move and taken to a facility, ground down and mixed with wood and other PEF material to make large bricks which are used as an alternative to fossil fuel in the cement making industry in regional NSW.Coffee cups and paper towels are a perfect waste stream for Processed Engineered Fuel (PEF) owing to their high calorific content.
