星巴克承诺投资100万美元研发完全可回收、可降解的更环保的咖啡杯。

The company on Tuesday announced the NextGen Cup Challenge initiative in partnership² with Closed Loop Partners' Center for the Circular Economy. The goal is to give cups a second life and keep them from landfills.

Inventors will receive grants.

Starbucks says its paper cups are currently manufactured with 10 percent post-consumer recycled fiber³. The inside is coated with a thin liner designed to meet quality and safety standards.

The company's research and development team is testing a new bio-liner, made partially⁴ from plant-based material.

Starbucks annual shareholders⁵ meeting on Wednesday features a coffee tasting featuring small sample cups that are fully recyclable in Seattle.
