Environmental action: reduce the use of disposable paper cups

"Consumers should minimize the use of disposable products. ""In addition to environmental protection, the quality requirements of disposable products are relatively low. In order to reduce costs, individual manufacturers use waste paper to process paper cups, and add talcum powder, fluorescent whitening agents and other substances, which will have an impact on health. "

With the improvement of environmental awareness, some businesses are trying to reduce the use of paper cups. Starbucks launched the "bring your own cup to deduct two yuan" program, and in any store in China, every customer who buys coffee with his own cup can directly deduct 2 yuan. The company also plans to use 100% reusable or recycled cups by 20 15 years.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and many people in Shencheng Street like to hold a cup of coffee or milk tea. These seemingly paper beverage cups are actually difficult to recycle.

A recent survey in Britain pointed out that paper cups are difficult to separate because there is a thin polyethylene plastic coating inside, so they cannot be recycled.

In China, the recycling of paper cups is also facing embarrassment. China sells 654.38 billion disposable paper cups every year. After these paper cups are discarded, the recycling company is unwilling to take them away, and finally they can only be burned as garbage. To this end, some businesses are trying to reduce the use of disposable paper cups or find more environmentally friendly paper cup materials.
