By using a reusable cup today, you're helping us eliminate single-use plastic at the Eden Project – thank you.
To get your cup deposit back quickly and easily, you can either pop your cup into one of our contactless self-service return points, that uses clever tech powered by re-universe to issue your refund, or return it to any of our tills.
“Please don't take me home! I'm really smart and want to stay at the Eden Project. I'm worth money and as soon as you return me, you'll get your deposit back instantly.”
You'll find our self-service points in the Coffee House, which is in the Visitor Centre, and in the Link Building between the Biomes.
The contactless payment device is on the front of the return point.
Your £2.50 deposit will be refunded instantly!* By keeping this cup at the Eden Project you are helping us reduce single-use cups, saving up to 30 tonnes of carbon a year and helping the planet.
Our mission is to demonstrate and inspire positive action for the planet. Our returnable cup scheme is just one of many ways we do this – and makes getting a takeaway drink and saying no to single-use plastic an easy choice for everyone.
At Eden, we work on regenerative sustainability – making things better not just less bad; environmentally, socially and economically. By using a reusable cup, you are helping us stop over 210,000 cups from being thrown away every year.
You are not alone or powerless. We are here to demonstrate that it can be done. The time to act is now so let's act together. What is Eden doing? What can I do? What can we achieve together? Find out here.
