Starbucks has partnered with Mestä Board, Transcend Packaging, and Qwarzo to release a home compostable cup and lid that replaces the cup’s plastic lining with a mineral-based coating and the single-use plastic lid with a fiber alternative.The hot cup is certified home compostable and is said to be widely recyclable. The rollout will take place in ten European countries, including Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and Hungary. It will come to the UK and Ireland later this year.
