How we calculated this
Calculation methodology
This calculation considers the carbon footprint of a disposable coffee cup only, excluding the coffee itself. Each disposable cup produces 0.11 kg of CO₂ emissions.
86,280 kg ÷ 0.11 kg = 784,364 disposable coffee cups
Our forest captured: 86.28 tonnes CO₂
Emissions per disposable coffee cup: 0.11 kg CO₂
