Takeout cups are not environmentally friendly! Drink with paper cups: it's wrong!

Friends are not worth everyone's happiness, happiness, Meixin and other fast food restaurants also use disposable tableware to initiate an online report. I raise my feet to agree, but I do not forget to remind that restaurants such as McDonald's, Starbucks and Pacific Coffee generally use disposable tableware regardless of takeout.

Received a complaint from Mr. Zheng that he went to the Pacific Coffee Diamond Hill branch to order a frozen coffee shop and asked to use the store's porcelain cups. He did not expect that the staff pointed out that the porcelain cups were not in accordance with the regulations and refused. The client did not mind drinking less and explained that he had used porcelain cups in other branches, but the store still insisted that "this is the rule."

Dissatisfied, Mr. Zheng called the company's customer service department and also got a reply from "acting according to the book." he also said that it was "wrong" for other branches to do so and would inform all branches to correct it.

In fact, what needs to be corrected is Pacific Coffee's attitude of producing disposable waste.

Shop assistants and customer waiters may not know, but the owners of these big coffee chains must know that the paper cups you throw away have been the target of the environmental movement in the past two years. British TV chefs and environmental fighters Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and BBC last year targeted coffee shops such as Starbucks, driving double-decker buses stuffed with tens of thousands of disposable coffee cups, putting up paper cup slogans with wake up and smell the waste and crossover with "wake up" English wake up and smell the coffee.

One disposable paper cup may seem trivial, but what about seven million? This happens to be the number of coffee paper cups discarded in Britain in a day, accumulating 2.5 billion in a year.

Many people are misled by the word "paper" in paper cups, thinking that they can be recycled, but they do not know that a waterproof coating has been added to the paper, making it difficult to separate and recycle the paper. As a result, coffee cups are usually made of brand new pulp and come to an end after a quarter of an hour of tasting.

To address the challenge that paper cups are difficult to recycle, Finley Whitingstow proposes two solutions. One is to encourage coffee shops to adopt reusable coffee cups, such as porcelain cups. Unfortunately, Pacific Coffee has set a negative example on this point alone. The second point is to improve the design of take-out coffee cups so that they can be fully recycled.

These big-name chains may not be concerned about environmental protection, but a study by a British university last year found that in addition to providing reusable cups and putting up green slogans in the store, if the following trick is attached, up to 300 million disposable cups can be saved in Britain each year.

What is this move? The levy is HK $2.50 per disposable cup.

It seems that the economic power of antagonizing meat is the biggest driving force that drives food chains to change their ways. Cymbal
