The FINANCIAL Two-month borrow-and-return trial will run in five Seattle stores as part of Starbucks ongoing commitment to reducing single use cup waste and goal to reduce waste by 50% by 2030, Starbucks notes.
Trial program allows customers to order their beverage in a reusable cup, each replacing up to 30 disposable cups.
Company partners with Seattle-area service, Ridwell, to offer customers an at-home option to return their borrowed cup.
The Starbucks cup is iconic. And while technically, Starbucks cups can be recycled under the right circumstances, they can only be used once. We know that needs to change.

We will lead the transition to a circular economy.”
