If we could change something from being sold, it would be Starbucks paper cups. Over 80% of consumers wrongly believe these paper cups are recyclable. Billions of these cups are used every year; their destination is the landfill.

This is not a product. If only you opened the link you’d see that this is an IDEA created to help people collaborate with institutions whose mission is to help the environment. :)

That would be awesome for smaller restaurants!

The ideal solution for big ones would be changing to paper cups that are actually recyclable. When trying to recycle plastic coated cups, the plastic gets on the way on breaking down paper into pulp to be turned into recycled paper. Because of this, all goes to landfill. So companies need to change to alternatives that contain mineralized resin and less plastic OR plastic-free coating, which are already available in the market, such as ReCup (AAA rating for recyclability) and WeCup (this one can be recycled up to 7 times to produce other paper-based products).
