Starbucks Starts Recycling Program
Every year, there are apparently about three million coffee cups going straight to the landfill. That’s tons full of waste… about 654,000 to be exact thus prompting Starbucks, the most popular coffee place (perhaps in the world, huh?) to start their own recycling program. (Good for them!)
Together with the Green Global USA’s Coalition for Resource Recovery (CoRR), this initiative will first start with seven stores in Manhattan, which will then hopefully be an expanding project.
The program will be about collecting used coffee cups which will then be combined with old corrugated cardboard meant for recycling.
Says Annie White, director of CoRR, “The lessons learned from the cup recycling pilot can be applied to the recycling of hamburger, pizza and French fry containers, and all sorts of other paper food packaging.â€
By the November, this project will then be re-evaluated for its results and effect.
