Starbucks responds to ‘latte levy’ with 5p cup charge to cut waste
Ben Webster, Environment Editor
January 5 2018,
Starbucks will test the impact of a 5p charge in 20 to 25 London stores.
A charge on disposable coffee cups is to be imposed in Britain to address the problem that only a tiny proportion is recycled.
Starbucks will test the impact of a 5p charge in 20 to 25 London stores in a three-month trial starting next month, the first time any coffee chain has required customers to pay extra for a cup.
The company announced the charge after learning that the Commons environmental audit committee would recommend today that the government introduce a minimum 25p “latte levy” on disposable cups.
A report by the committee says that disposable coffee cups should be banned unless almost all are recycled by 2023.
And the EU ? – they don’t give a toss about anything unless money is the prime motivation.
