Starbucks leads the way by banning plastic straws in its global stores by 2020.

  • 2018-08-17

(CNA, New York, September 9) Starbucks has decided to ban single-use plastic straws at all its stores worldwide within two years. Amid growing global calls for waste reduction, Starbucks cites the environmental threat plastic poses to the oceans, becoming the largest food and beverage company to ban plastic. Just one week after Seattle, Starbucks' birthplace, banned plastic straws and containers, Starbucks announced today that by 2020 it will use straws made from biodegradable materials, such as paper straws, and specially designed lids. Starbucks stores in Seattle have already begun offering alternative straws. Other cities, such as Fort Meyers, have also banned plastic straws. New York and San Francisco are considering following suit. Starbucks stores in Seattle and Vancouver will begin using lids without straw holes this fall, with a gradual rollout in the US and Canada next year. Other locations worldwide will also adopt lids without straw holes, led by European countries. CNBC reports that Seattle became the first city in the U.S. to ban plastic straws, containers, and cocktail stirrers on July 1st. Bans on plastic straws and stirrers in the UK and Ireland will take effect next year. Customers have been calling for restaurants like Starbucks and McDonald's to ban single-use plastic utensils, such as straws, cups, and bags, but the problem is not easy to solve. These chains serve millions of customers daily in thousands of locations, making a rapid and comprehensive ban on these non-recyclable items difficult and costly.
