Why can't Buck's cups be recycled? Listen to the clerk and say that you will understand after reading it.
The development of our society today is getting faster and faster, so the development of food is also very competitive. Like a lot of fast food, fast food food... Nowadays, the take-out is even more endless, which raises a problem, that is, the garbage generated is really not to be underestimated. Like what KFC, a little bit, McDonald's... A series of young people's favorite production, every day can produce a lot of garbage, the impact on the environment can not be ignored.
One of the things we are going to say today is Starbucks. Starbucks, a food and beverage outlet that focuses on a variety of beverages, has its own seating area and is relatively expensive compared to a regular tea shop. Therefore, when you look at it, you feel that it is relatively high, and it is very popular among many young people in the petty bourgeoisie. The general price of Starbucks is 20-40, and the drinks made are more mellow. In addition, their outer packaging also has its own unique logo, uniform cup, which is particularly delicate.
Then let's talk about this cup today. People who have already eaten Starbucks should know that the quality of their cups is good. They feel completely recyclable and reused. Recycling the cups can not only reduce production costs, but also effectively protect the environment. A force, this is the best of both worlds. But why can't the used quilt used by Starbucks be recycled? Let's listen to the clerk together and you will understand it. After reading it, you will understand.
- There is a layer of non-recyclable waterproof plastic inside the paper cup.
Everyone knows that there will be a layer of waterproof plastic in the paper cup, otherwise it will not be able to see water without a layer of paper. It is this layer of plastic that we can't guarantee 100% purification and removal, so we can't use it again, otherwise it will only increase the cost and it is not healthy.
- The cup material is different and it is difficult to handle it uniformly.
Like these well-known chain stores, the awareness of product protection is still very strong. Therefore, in order to prevent plagiarism, Star Dad is also painstaking, and will update the outer packaging every once in a while. Therefore, the materials used will be different, so that even if the cup is recycled, it can not reduce the cost, but it is more classified and more complicated.
- The composition of the residue in the cup is complex.
In the process of drinking, the cup will leave a lot of bacteria, whether it is on the hand, or our saliva, lip print... These residues are cleaned and cleaned, which is not easy.
After reading these points, you still feel that recycling
Of course, I understand and agree. Nice report!
