Just before the ban on cardboard coffee cups with a small layer of plastic, Jan Slagter smashed. “At the NPO you have to drink from a mug and I just think that is very gross.”
Companies have not been allowed to offer their staff in their staff with a thin plastic layer in it since 2024. The goal is to reduce stray plastic in the environment. All very nice and nice, but Jan Slagter thinks it’s all a GOTSPE. That is why he has a lot of walking those cups, before the prohibition was imposed.
Own mug
Jan also thinks it is a GOTSPE that chip bags are now being traded in for cardboard cups. “This is all nonsense, dude. The same with those plastic cups. You can’t have them anymore either, because there is a little bit of something in it. Well, we ordered a lot from Max before it was no longer allowed,” he brands into The Oranjezomer.
Colleague Rutger Castricum understands Jan. “At the NPO you have to have your own mug!”
“That’s Goor!”
Jan does not do that. “That is Goor? Then I come there and then you make coffee and then I get a mug, who has been doing a bit of his hand with his hand. I take my own plastic … Well, there is nothing in it, you know.”
“We have now ordered the newest, they are entirely according to the rules, but I don’t have to have a mug that everyone has drifted from.”
At the pump
That plastic surcharge is also such a wax nose, according to Jan. “The bad thing is: if you order a lot of coffee at the pump – I get a lot – then they do it in a cup. You have to pay a dime for that. I thought: that goes to some fund for recycling plastic, but that just goes to the pump holder! He gets that dime!”
He does not find himself a mop fend. “Yes, I am grumbling on people who come up with certain rules that we did not have before. We just drank from a plastic cup. We are trotting. We are exaggerating enormously.”
