Starbucks Forges Ahead with Sustainable Cup Packaging
Starbucks plans to trial “greener cups” in several markets worldwide. In New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and London, the company will test a few different cups that are recyclable and compostable.
The beverage giant also announced it is rolling out a redesigned, lightweight recyclable strawless lid in all of its stores throughout the U.S. and Canada within the next year. Starbucks says the lids will have 9 percent less plastic than the current lid and straw.
