01 Mar 2018 --- Chiltern Railways has announced that it will be the first train operator to recycle coffee cups at stations in a bid to reduce plastic waste. Simply Cups – who are servicing the initiative – estimate that across the UK, just one in 400 of the 2.5 billion disposable cups used each year is recycled. In response, Chiltern, an Arriva UK Trains company, have decided to tackle the issue as part of its commitment to addressing environmental challenges and hopes to set the standard for British train operators.
