What's wrong with just using one of your own cups or bowls? This seems a huge waste of money to manufacture and post these out for free.

Exactly, it is a total waste of tax payers money that run into hundreds of millions of pounds. I suspect it is to do with government's environmental targets; some people and companies are paid tax payers for bonuses of achieving targets using customer's own money to pay for these items. The same with energy light bulbs (flourescent ones) to meet target of reducing green house gas emissions. So they were "giving" them away, but costs "us" a lot of money. However it did migrate a lot of people to flourescent light bulbs though I am mhalf way replacing these with even more efficient LED ones using my own money (much cheaper than "them" supplying them). To buy myself a light bulb , £2 , to get it from "them" probably £10 per bulb. Like this gunk pot, £0 for consumer to improvise; £5+ to manage and organise one to be delivered through your letter box.

Instead of cups and bowls use an old coffee jar or washed out sauce jar

Lump of congealed fat and household waste was 40 metres long and so heavy it broke Chelsea sewer, costing Thames Water £400,000.
I'd say that there is obvious financial incentive for water companies to change consumer attitudes and this is one way of bringing attention to the cause if nothing else!
