Reusable Cup Option at Starbucks: A Sustainable Step
<p>Starbucks is introducing a new initiative to promote sustainability by allowing drive-thru customers and app users to bring their own cups. Starting this week, customers can use their own cups in an effort to reduce waste. The cups must be clean but can be any type, not necessarily the classic green-and-white cups associated with the brand. Starbucks Chief Sustainability Officer, Michael Kobori, stated that this move represents progress towards a more sustainable future. To ensure safety and hygiene, customers are required to inform employees when they bring their own cup, and baristas will collect the cup through a contactless method at the pickup window. In return, customers will receive a 10 cent discount or 25 Starbucks Rewards Bonus Stars at participating stores each time they use their own cup. This new initiative aligns with Starbucks’ commitment to halve its waste production by 2030. Currently, Starbucks drive-thrus use paper and plastic cups that are difficult to recycle, leading to a substantial amount of cups ending up in landfills each Starbucks’ new initiative to promote</p>
