Reusable cups were integrated into the Starbucks merchandise to save customers money while protecting the environment from more single-use plastic cups that are not recycled.
Starbucks has committed to decreasing wastage from paper cups by 50% in the next decade. To accomplish this, Starbucks offers a 10% discount to customers who buy a beverage with the Starbucks reusable cup.
The success of the largest coffeehouse chain in the world is a result of its ability to provide unique customer experiences. Since its inception in 1971, Starbucks has found ways to stay ahead of its competitors.
Redefining coffee drinking, serving a variety of deliciously designed beverages and snacks, delivering excellent customer service, and paying attention to the environmental effects of its service, are some of the ways Starbucks has stayed ahead.
