"Starbucks Pioneers Sustainability by Accepting Personal Reusable Cups for All Orders Nationwide"

Starbucks is now allowing customers to use their own personal cups for drive-thru and app orders, a service previously limited to in-store purchases. This initiative is part of the company's efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainability, aiming for a 50% reduction in waste by 2030. Customers using personal cups will receive a discount and reward points, but the service is not available for orders through third-party apps. The move addresses the increase in drive-thru and app orders, which constitute about 70% of the company's U.S. sales, and is in line with Starbucks' broader strategy to shift towards reusable containers and reduce single-use plastics.
