Starbucks Coffee Company now allows reusable cups at all company-operated and participating licensed stores across the U.S. and Canada.
Customers can now use their clean personal cup when ordering in café, in the drive-thru or when ordering ahead with the Starbucks app.
With the majority of Starbucks beverages enjoyed on-the-go, this milestone unlocks a big opportunity for customers to choose reusables and supports the company’s commitment to reduce waste by 50% by 2030.
“Offering customers more options to use a personal cup when they visit Starbucks marks tangible progress towards the future. We know our customers are passionate about the planet, and now, they can join us in our efforts to give more than we take, no matter how they order,” said Michael Kobori, Chief Sustainability Officer at Starbucks.
The retailer has become the first national coffeehouse in the U.S. and Canada to offer customers the option to use their personal cup when mobile ordering.
This is part of a larger cultural movement the company is leading to shift toward reusables and away from single-use plastics, making it convenient for customers to use their own personal cup for every visit.
