The hot \u2018super cups\u2019 will be made with greener materials, and each sleeve will hold double the number of cups, thus reducing space. The cold cups that they are sourcing is a product called Bagass which is made from sugarcane fibers. Planned to be online for spring 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic cutlery will be replaced with wood cutlery by spring of 2023.
