From cup to beautiful paper. This notecard set has been made from disposable coffee cups, previously destined for landfill. Using CupCycling the paper is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.

We throw away 2.5 billion cups every year in the UK. Extract is a way of tackling this, every sheet of paper is composed from at least 5 up-cycled coffee cups. Creating paper with a superior quality, it is a combination of chemistry and artistry. The process is called CupCycling, it is dedicated to upcycling takeaway cups.
