🧐 Starbucks’ eco friendly christmas campaign
During Christmas 2017, Starbucks launched its reusable red cup campaign. These cups reflect the Christmas vibe and holiday excitement and were made with 50% recycled content.
They gave out free limited-edition reusable red cups to customers who ordered a holiday beverage. These beverages are given specific hashtags – #IrishCreamColdBrew – which users then upload on their social media handles.
The reusable red cup has now become a tradition for customers each holiday season and is a step towards reducing single-use cup waste and also contributes towards an environment-friendly planet.
