Dunkin’ Officially Eliminates Styrofoam Cups!

Making the Earth better is a good thing so I'm all for it!

 Here are the details:

"With more than 9,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the U.S. alone, our decision to eliminate foam cups is significant for both our brand and our industry," Karen Raskopf, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer of Dunkin' Donuts, explained in a statement in 2018. "We have a responsibility to improve our packaging, making it better for the planet while still meeting the needs of our guests. Transitioning away from foam has been a critical goal for Dunkin' Donuts U.S., and with the double-walled cup, we will be able to offer a replacement that meets the needs and expectations of both our customers and the communities we serve."

Don't worry, the new cups are very similar.   According to Dunkin's website, the new double-walled paper cup is made with paperboard certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard and features the re-closable lid that we all love!
