This wonderful event took place on Friday 13th at The Clayton Hotel , Lapps Quay Cork. The Friendly Business Awards, supported by Bank of Ireland, is JCI flagship business programme where they recognise the pivotal role businesses play in our local community. We live in challenging times for small businesses and the aim of the Friendly Business Awards is to celebrate the value these businesses bring to our local communities every day. Griffins Garden Centre, Dripsey recently designed a Compostable Take away Cup.
In Ireland we throw away 100 million standard disposable cups each year .
If an item is ‘Biodegradable,’ it will biodegrade, but the length of time it will take for this item to fully break down is not specified – It could take 1000 years for something that is ‘biodegradable’ to fully decompose.
If an item is ‘Compostable,’ it means that this item will biodegrade into nutrient-rich soil within a 180 day timeline – It will certifiably break down into soil within 8-12 weeks when commercially composted. Griffins Takeaway cup and Lid Is 100% Compostable
This innovative cup was recognized for being One Ireland’s Most Eco friendly Takeaway Cup.
