Starbucks Getting Rid Of Plastic Straws In All Stores
(Undated) — Starbucks is getting rid of plastic straws. The coffeehouse giant announced today it will phase out plastic straws from all its locations by 2020. The company says the change will eliminate more than a billion plastic straws per year. To get rid of straws, Starbucks is moving away from the flat, plastic lids on its drinks. Instead, it will use lids with a raised lid people can drink from. The lids have been compared to an adult sippy cup. Starbucks will still serve frappuccino drinks with plastic lids, but they’ll come with straws made of paper or plastic that can be composted.
