I just did my first year of college in the UK, and almost all Starbucks there have reusable ceramic mugs as the automatic for people not getting it to-go. When I first saw this I was utterly amazed, but coming back to the US it’s disappointing. They even have cute little espresso cups. The one place I was unable to get a real mug was near Oxford Circus in London, one of the most busy tourist spots (also, I think it was a new location, so maybe they’ve changed). Obviously, this doesn’t cut down the waste behind the scenes, but it certainly saves a lot of paper cups and plastic lids!

@dbboley Some Starbucks do but not all. Last summer when I was in New York City, I checked in several different Starbucks, and none of them had “for here” cups.

While I like the idea that Starbucks has paper cups, whats sad is the plastic cold drink cups they use. I don’t know why Starbucks and some other big name fast food stores don;t stop this use of plastic cups and stick with the paper. engineeringarecycablesociety@blogspot.com

I live in Virginia. The local Starbucks has ‘for here’ mugs and glasses available upon request, and has the mugs displayed with a sign that says “ask for a for here mug.” This summer, they put in a trashcan with both a recyclable and non recyclable option, with what materials are recyclable clearly illustrated on the lid. While this is only one can, and only inside the store, I know that the recycled side is emptied much more often than the waste side. Which is better than nothing. I think it also makes us consumers more aware of how much we doom to the landfill that could be recycled instead.
