πIn response to the surge in plastic waste from single-use cups used for cold drinks, Starbucks announces the launch of redesigned disposable cups in Canada and the U.S. The new cups, containing up to 20% less plastic, aim to address environmental concerns while maintaining cup durability. Starbucks' vice president of product innovation, Amelia Landers, highlights the extensive four-year development process to optimize cup design. With cold drinks comprising 75% of U.S. beverage sales, Starbucks estimates the new cups will divert over 13.5 million pounds of plastic from landfills annually. Additionally, the redesign incorporates tactile indicators for cup size recognition and adjustments for lid compatibility. Starbucks emphasizes its ongoing commitment to sustainability, including initiatives like strawless lids and reusable cup programs, with the aim of making all packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030.β . πππ¬π ππ§ππ’π-πππ§πππ ππ₯π’π π‘π ππππ₯π¬ ππ°ππ’π! πππ‘π¦ππ§ ππ«ππ―ππ₯ πππ«π―π’πππ¬ (πππ) πππ-ππππ, πππ-πππ-ππππ π¬ππ₯ππ¬@π«ππ‘π¦ππ§ππ«ππ―ππ₯π¬ππ«π―π’πππ¬.ππ¨π¦ @rahmantravelservices . . #Starbucks #PlasticWasteReduction #SustainablePackaging #EnvironmentalInitiatives #ReusableCups #SustainabilityEfforts #CoffeeIndustry #Canada #SingleUsePlastic #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
