Starbucks announced it will allow customers to use their own personal cups for all visits, including drive-through and mobile orders, in a bid to reduce waste sent to landfills.
Starbucks announced it will allow customers to use their own personal cups for all visits, including drive-through and mobile orders, in a bid to reduce waste sent to landfills.
The new practice starts Wednesday at all company-operated and participating licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada.
“With the majority of Starbucks beverages enjoyed on-the-go, this milestone unlocks a big opportunity for customers to choose reusables and supports Starbucks commitment to reduce waste by 50 percent by 2030,” the Seattle-based company said in a news release, noting it is the first national coffeehouse to offer personal cups for mobile orders.
Plus there's a financial incentive — customers who bring a clean, personal cup get a 10-cent discount on their beverage and 25 bonus stars for U.S. Starbucks Rewards members.
So, how will it work?
