Why some Starbucks locations are switching from plastic to paper cups

Green groups say it’s a “clear admission” that the plastic ones aren’t recyclable.

Mentioned in the article is a stunt by Beyond Plastics whereby they put GPS trackers in plastic Starbucks cups to see how many actually went to recycling centers. 32 out of 36 went straight to landfill.

I want to hear about similar stunts that ordinary people can perform to highlight issues! If you have any please share them below!

Is that kind of plastic even recycled?

They pose the same question in the article - it’s barely recyclable if recyclable at all
