Starbucks environmental protection plan will be upgraded again! Starbucks tries out reusable cups!
Following the implementation of paper straws, in order to further reduce the overuse of plastic products, Starbucks once again "upgraded" environmental protection-related programs: start a trial of reusable cups.
In response to the environmental theme, Starbucks is experimenting with reusable cups at five stores in Seattle for two months, according to foreign media reports. The project is currently only being tested in Seattle.
The so-called reusable cup means that when a customer buys a drink, he can choose to pay a deposit of $1 for the reusable cup, and the deposit will be refunded after returning it. And give away 10 Starbucks stars reward each recycled cup will be cleaned and sterilized to facilitate next use.
Starbucks, as the world's largest coffee chain brand, has been committed to environmental protection. Earlier, Starbucks announced that it would become a sustainable vision for resource-friendly enterprises worldwide in the coming decades, with an initial goal of achieving a 50% reduction in carbon emissions, water consumption and waste by 2030. The pilot launch of reusable cups as part of Starbucks' commitment to reduce the use of disposable plastics will contribute to the fulfilment of the promise. Starbucks has also redesigned the cup lid to reduce the use of straws.
On September 10 last year, Starbucks announced that it would replace straws with direct drinking cup lids. Starbucks said that the plastic content of direct drinking cup lids was 9% less than that of previous ones. At present, all Starbucks stores in mainland China have made full use of more environmentally friendly paper straws and direct drinking cup lids specially developed to replace plastic straws, which can reduce the use of about 200 tons of plastic each year.
In addition to Seattle, Starbucks also plans to phase out disposable cups in South Korea.
Starbucks expects to phase out disposable cups in all its stores in South Korea by 2025, a decision to reduce landfills and carbon footprints, which Starbucks says is its first such move in its main market.
Starting in June, Starbucks will launch a "cup cycle" program in South Korea, under which customers only need to pay a "small deposit" to get reusable cups, which can be returned to contactless kiosks after use.
Starbucks is implementing a longer-term environmental protection plan through a series of actions. for this trial, some netizens think that Starbucks can reuse cups, which is good and environmentally friendly, and some netizens think that reused cups are unhealthy, so it is recommended to bring their own cups.
In addition, today # Beijing will ban disposable plastic coffee mixing bars # topic also rushed to the Weibo hot search list.
On April 7, the Beijing Municipal Market Regulatory Administration issued the detailed explanation of Beijing plastic pollution Control work. Starting from July 1 this year, Beijing's catering industry banned the use of non-degradable disposable plastic coffee mixing sticks; the production and sale of disposable plastic cotton swabs are prohibited in this city.
Whether Starbucks reusable cups are tried out in Seattle in the United States or disposable plastic coffee mixers will be banned in Beijing, in fact, they all revolve around the theme of "environmental protection". From the perspective of environmental protection, the measures introduced by both are conducive to the promotion of the "environmental protection" program.
