An estimated 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups are thrown away each year in 2021, but that number is likely to be even higher now. However, due to the use of film in the lining of disposable takeaway cups to ensure that the cups will not leak, this chemical-containing material cannot be completely degraded, let alone composted, so it is almost difficult to recycle. So almost 90% of disposable to-go cups are not recyclable. A 2017 study found that only one in every 400 coffee cups is recycled, even if those cups end up in the recycling bin.

 

In fact, with regard to environmental protection, every country and region has made some efforts and measures at different levels and angles. Some countries have even begun to consider the issue of "latte taxation" by imposing a 25% tax on disposable coffee cups. tax to incentivize stores and people to buy coffee in biodegradable coffee cups or bring their own tumblers.
