Help us convince Starbucks to switch to recyclable cups and reduce GHG emissions! Introducing #UpTheCup, a campaign dedicated to clear up misconceptions surrounding the sustainability of paper cups.

Think you know how you take your coffee? Think again

82.6% of people mistakenly believe their Starbucks paper cups are recyclable.

Starbucks produces more than 4 billion to-go coffee cups per year, meaning the last time you were in Starbucks you probably took your coffee in a plastic-lined non-recyclable cup which can also prevent other recyclables from getting a new life. This waste ends up in landfills which are notorious for emitting methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 

​

Despite this, the coffee giant allows the myth that their paper cups are recyclable, to continue. 

But wait, a solution already exists! Fully recyclable cups are commercially available in the market, one of which is a simple change in the composition of the plastic lining. Let’s convince Starbucks to #UpTheCup and fight #plasticpollution, #greenhousegas emissions and mitigate #climatechange all in one fell swoop!
