At Starbucks, we believe in the importance of caring for our planet and working with and encouraging others to do the same. As a company that relies on an agricultural product, it makes good business sense. And as people living in the world, it is simply the right thing to do. We’re proud to be developing more environmentally friendly solutions and working hard to expand our existing programs in an effort to minimize our environmental footprint and tackle climate change.
Reducing waste and encouraging guests to use reusable cups is one of the brand's key global initiatives. With our wide range of core and seasonal merchandise items, such as tumblers, bottles, cold cups, everyone can find their favorite and choose to reuse.
Bring Your Own Tumbler is our flagship initiative, aiming at eliminating paper and plastic waste. Come to Starbucks with your own container (bottle, tumbler, reusable cup) to receive 0,50 lv discount on your favorite beverage.
To encourage even more customers across the country to make the switch to reusable cups, we have implemented an additional cup charge of 0,10 lv for every hot beverage ordered in a paper cup at Starbucks.
Starbucks Strawless lids feature a slightly raised sipping hole that eliminates the need for straw completely, resulting in an overall reduction of plastic. The Strawless lid is made of plastic which can be recycled.
We have introduced paper straws, eliminating plastic ones, for all beverages that can't be served with our Strawless lid.
We have eliminated plastic cutlery, implementing its wooden substitute, that is available for customers ordering for take-away on demand.
From January 2022, we no longer charge for any dairy alternative drinks in our stores, ensuring customers can always choose the right beverage customization for them.
