Starbucks works to keep coffee cups out of landfills

TerraCycle starbucks Include USA
The biggest recycling challenge for the world's largest coffee shop chain is convincing mills to accept more paper coffee cups, which most places put in landfill and a handful -- including Seattle and Bellingham-- recycle or compost. Starbucks' goal is to have all the communities where it owns shops communities be able to recycle coffee cups by 2015 -- a very big deal for a company that goes through 3 billion paper cups (and 1 billion plastic ones) a year.
