Starbucks is going away from paper cups. Here’s how your coffee order could change – By Marina Pitofsky (USA Today) / March 15, 2022
That Starbucks paper cup could soon be a thing of the past – or it could be more expensive – as the coffee giant explores reusable options.
Starbucks is “shifting away from single-use plastics and piloting reusable cup programs” in six markets, according to a Tuesday statement from the company. By the end of next year, customers will be allowed to use their own reusable cups in every store location in the United States and Canada.
And by 2025, the company hopes to give “customers easy access to a personal or Starbucks provided reusable to-go cup for every visit,” the company said Tuesday.
Starbucks, which has a goal of reducing waste by 50% by 2030, on Tuesday also said it is testing multiple programs for cutting down on single-use cups in stores around the world.
