Starbucks is beginning the process of phasing out their disposable cups which represent a big part of the company's overall waste and greenhouse gas emissions. They hope that by 2030 they will be using recyclable or reusable exclusively. The practice is already catching on in several locations where they have recycle bins outside their stores where the cups are collected and made into more recycling bins. The reusable cups go through a washer at the stores before being refilled and the customers get $1 off their purchase for bringing in their cup. With any luck this will set a trend so all the coffee shops will start their own programs.
