Meet the Couple Trying to Save 1.8 Billion Coffee Cups From Landfill | Act Local

In this episode of Act Local, Cameron Doyle meets up with Compostable Alternatives to learn how your post-adventure coffee can reduce the plastic piling up in landfills.
This van-life couple travels Australia in their newly-renovated bus, encouraging cafes to use their composting coffee cups.
If you're like me, you've undoubtedly forgotten your keep-cup and had to grab a takeaway coffee cup instead (naughty, naughty). You've also likely been relieved: 'Oh, that's cool; it's compostable.'
Unfortunately, the packaging should read 'industrially compostable', and it's unlikely to be part of the 0.13% of commercially compostable packaging that's correctly disposed of and recovered through a composting facility.
That's why Marion and Alexis have created Compostable Alternatives, a range of regenerative packaging for cafes, including coffee cups, that coffee drinkers can compost in their backyard.
They're currently on the road chatting to mobile cafes, like coffee caravans parked on the beach, to get on board with their products and stop sending grubby plastic-lined coffee cups to landfills.
