Starbucks makes big changes customers will notice right away
Starbucks announced a huge change in its business and is eliminating an iconic staple that customers will notice immediately.

As concerns have grown regarding the toxic waste and irreversible environmental damage plastic poses, some U.S. states, like New York, California, and Colorado, have passed stricter laws against single-use plastics, encouraging consumers to opt for reusable and more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Over the last few years, Starbucks has committed to halving its carbon, water, and waste footprint by 2030. The company has made multiple efforts to fulfill this promise by tweaking its packaging to make it more reusable, recyclable, and compostable and launching various other initiatives.
