A major change is coming to Starbucks plastic cups

A major change is coming to Starbucks plastic cups.

Starbucks has announced the debut of a lineup of more sustainable cold cups in stores across the U.S. and Canada.

The cups are made with less plastic than previous cold cups. They are also projected to reduce emissions and conserve water in the production process.

The new tall, grande, venti and trenta-sized cups use 10 to 20 percent less plastic compared to previous cold cups. According to a press release, feedback from store partners and customers informed the key features. Baristas made drinks in test and store settings, rating the feel and performance of different iterations.

The new cups are part of Starbucks’ commitment to cut its carbon, water and waste footprints in half by 2030. Starbucks has also committed to making sure all customer packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable.
