"Starbucks Unveils Redesigned Plastic Cups"

Starbucks has announced a redesign of its plastic cups for cold drinks, using up to 20% less plastic and aiming to reduce waste and carbon output by 2030. The new cups will debut at select locations in the US and Canada this year, with full rollout expected by spring 2025. The redesign includes using less plastic, adding accessibility features, and standardizing lid sizes. While these changes aim to reduce environmental impact, some critics argue that more sustainable solutions, such as reusable and returnable cups, are needed to fully address the plastic crisis.
