Starbucks is the largest coffee retailer in the world, sourcing 99% of its coffee sustainably to make coffee drinking guilt-free.
Currently, the company is testing out the use of a variety of greener cups that are both recyclable and compostable. It has also started using lightweight strawless lids in its bid to eliminate 1 billion single-use plastic straws annually. In fact, Singapore is one of the select cities to pilot and introduce these strawless lids for selected drinks and the use of compostable straws made of corn starch-based material.
Customers who bring their own tumbler or mug may even get a discount* for their favourite drinks.
