McDonald’s reusable cup trial in the U.K. will be the first example of the fledgling Loop program trying its hand outside the grocery sector. Until now, it has focused on providing e-commerce grocery delivery in reusable, refillable packaging in parts of the United States, the U.K., and France. A company spokesperson said Loop remains on track to continue expanding those efforts. The partnership reflects the company’s propensity toward brand name partnerships, which stem from Loop’s need to increase the ubiquity of the service and achieve scale quickly. In a June interview, TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky hinted at the future partnership without naming the company, and said his vision was for the restaurant’s locations to act as collection points for any type of container purchased from any of Loop’s programs. “When they put Loop everywhere, it's going to send a message," he said at the time.

If you visit a McDonald’s in the U.K. early next year, you might notice a new option if you get a hot drink like coffee or hot chocolate: Instead of a typical disposable cup, you’ll have the choice to walk away with a reusable plastic cup and lid that you can later put in a special bin to be collected and sterilized for another customer. “Reuse is a really interesting, important tool in a suite of tools that we will need, and we’re exploring as we look to keep waste out of nature,” says Jenny McColloch, vice president of global sustainability at McDonald’s Corporation. The company is the first in the food service industry to partner with Loop, a company that also pioneered a new system of reusable packaging for mainstream consumer products like shampoo and ice cream from major brands. The pilot will test how Loop’s system could work in the context of fast food.

Having a coffee machine in your kitchen has many perks: it's much cheaper to make a delicious latte at home rather than nipping into Costa (plus, they're not even open right now!), and a real espresso will always taste better than one made with instant granules. Saying that, we've all experienced that disappointing moment when we go to make ourselves a morning brew only to find we've run out of capsules. To prevent this, we'd recommend investing in a coffee subscription. Whether you're after fresh roasted whole beans for your top-of-the-range bean-to-cup machine, or ultra-convenient Nespresso pods, there are plenty of versatile plans to pick from; many offering rotating bags of top-grade coffee to try, so you don't get bored. Nowadays, pods are much more eco-friendly too, with plenty of options for recycling. All of the options we've listed can be cancelled at any time, so you're not tied down if you feel like switching things up. Many brands offer free delivery, discounted beans or other incentives for signing up, too. So, here's our round up of our favourite at-home coffee subscription services — so you can enjoy a proper cappuccino, even through lockdown.
