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!

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