In an effort to be more sustainable, Starbucks will now allow personal cups to be used for drive-thru and app orders – a move which the coffee giant claims is the first national chain to do. Originally, the pandemic paused this initiative, but conscious consumers will be glad to know it's back. When ordering through the app, consumers can simply choose the "personal cup" option.

Starbucks has been giving a 10-cent discount and 25 bonus stars for bringing reusable cups, but it was mostly for in-store orders. Starbucks baristas will prepare mobile and drive-thru orders in a reusable container, pouring it into your cup without finishing toppings. Through this move, Starbucks demonstrates its dedication to environmental responsibility, making strides towards a future where every sip comes with a sustainable impact.
