According to Starbucks, the move to non-plastic cups can be attributed to two reasons. One, Starbucks has a goal set in place to make all packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2030. This commitment takes time and a lot of money to pull off, which brings us to the second reason for the transition: legislation. Starbucks is continuously adjusting its offerings as local governments around the country pass legislation requiring transitions away from single-use plastic.
As we mentioned before, not all stores are making the switch to the new non-plastic cups, however, the following states are confirmed to have some stores in participation: California, Washington, Hawaii, Minnesota, Arizona, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Michigan, Maryland, Connecticut, Virginia, South Carolina, Colorado and Georgia.
"As an alternative, customers are welcome to bring in their clean, personal reusable cup or order their beverage ‘for here’ to have their beverage served in a ceramic mug or glass," noted a Starbucks spokesperson.
In a world full of plastic products, what Starbucks is doing is very much commendable. And while consumers have rightfully had a problem with paper straws for quite some time now, that doesn’t take away from the fact that our world has become completely overrun with plastic. Any move that can offset the negative effect of an excessive amount of plastic on this planet is a welcomed move in our minds.
