日本星巴克咖啡

2022年8月12日

據一家環境保護組織最近的一項調查顯示，僅在2020年，日本9家主要咖啡連鎖店就使用了3.6965億個一次性杯子來盛飲料，這突顯出在推廣可重複使用杯子和減少浪費方麵取得的進展有限。日本綠色和平組織表示，每年的垃圾轉化為每天100萬個一次性塑料和紙杯，如果把它們疊在一起，“相當於1萬多座富士山的高度”，海拔超過3.7萬公裏。該小組對星巴克、Tully's Coffee、Pronto、Doutor、Caffe Veloce、Excelsior Caffe、Ueshima Coffee House、Cafe de Crie和Komeda進行了調查，發送問卷，觀察他們的商店，分析銷售數據和其他記錄。圖為日本9大咖啡連鎖店使用的一次性塑料杯和紙杯。據估計，星巴克消耗的一次性紙杯數量最多，總計約2.317億個，其中約1.421億個是塑料杯。緊隨其後的是Tully's Coffee(7250萬杯)和Pronto(3530萬杯)。綠色和平組織稱，這三家連鎖店提供的飲料大多是一次性杯，即使是在連鎖店裏喝的顧客，這也增加了他們對一次性杯的依賴。該公司表示，這三家連鎖店分別提供3%、20%和31%的可重複使用杯子的飲料。調查顯示，名古屋的Komeda公司幾乎所有的飲料都是用可重複使用的杯子提供的。星巴克咖啡日本有限公司的一位公關官員告訴共同社，這家總部位於西雅圖的咖啡連鎖店已經設定了到2030年將垃圾減少一半的全球目標。 As part of that effort, its Japanese branch has started serving cold drinks in glasses at 106 of its shops since April, while offering takeaway drinks in rental reusable cups on a trial basis, according to the official. The report said about 91,000 single-use disposable cups are thrown away every hour in the Japanese cafe sector alone. "With most of them being incinerated, or, in the worst case, improperly disposed into the environment, combined action from the cafe sector and the government is urgently needed to end the flood of single-use cups and transition towards a system based on the mantra of 'reduce, reuse, and refill,'" it added. Tomohiro Tasaki, the head of the National Institute for Environmental Studies' research on resource circulation and waste management, said one of the steps the coffee chains can immediately take to cut plastic waste is apparently switching to reusable cups for dine-in service. "They should be able to promote the shift to reusable cups reasonably smoothly by introducing a new sales system such as charging for disposable cups and giving discounts to customers using reusable ones," he said. ==Kyodo
