Starbucks plans to get rid of its iconic disposable cups

In a time when the world is becoming more eco-friendly, Starbucks is trying to phase out its iconic white disposable cups.

While the current cups are recyclable, Starbucks uses about 7 billion disposable cups every year - and with the coffee chain looking to halve its waste by 2030, there's still a long way to go.
