TERRACYCLE
We are working as a public TerraCycle collection point for various plastic packaging items. By doing this we earn points that are then turned into a financial donation to Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, the chaity of our choice.
TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by recycling the "non-recyclable." Whether it's coffee capsules from your home, pens from a school, or plastic gloves from a manufacturing facility, TerraCycle can collect and recycle almost any form of waste. We work as a recycling point for Carex, Impreal Leather and Bayleys of Bond street soap pumps, all Kinder packaging, Weleda tubes, Flash wipes and other flexible plastic packaging for some household cleaning products. See full list and how it works below.

- reusable sanitary pads from Honour My Flow and Topsy&Bo and menstrual cups
- Rcup (first reusable cup made from used disposable cups) and Neon Kactus reusable cups
- Toothpase Tablets (Denttabs) and Bamboo toothbrushes

We have also added a household cleaning supply refill station and you can find Fill Refill wash up liquid, all purpose and kitchen cleaner. All you need to do is bring your own bottle and fill it. We also have a limited amount of branded empty glass bottles you can purchase.
These are a few things you're able to find at the cafe. We're always looking for new things, so come check out our little zero waste corner!
