McDonald’s in the United Kingdom has begun testing new reusable returnable cups to cut back on the 600 billion paper coffee cups that are used up every year. McDonald’s Vice President of Sustainability, Jenny McColloch opted to use this system of reusable drinking cups, which are manufactured by a company called Loop.
To keep up with health standards regarding Covid-19, after returning the cups, McDonald’s sends the cups to a facility to have the cups sterilized so they can be used again the next day. McDonald’s in the UK is taking tips from McDonald’s in Germany, as they offer a discount if you bring your own cup. If you use the new reusable cup in McDonald’s UK, they offer a small discount to your purchase.
Although McDonald’s has been using biodegradable cups to help recycle and keep from wasting the paper, these recyclable materials still have a life cycle before the cups’ molecular structure begins breaking down. Loop and McDonald’s are hoping that implementing this new cup will inspire other companies to do the same and reduce waste and pollution.
