We Had Questions about the Reusable-Cup Pilot Program and, Surprisingly, We Got Some Answers

摘要

When I wrote about Closed Loop Partners’ announcement of a pilot program to test reusable coffee cups in San Franciscoand Oakland, CA, I had a few questions about the actual sustainability of a reusable-cup scheme. I was pleasantly surprisedwhen I received a response in my inbox from Georgia Sherwin, Communications Associate for Closed Loop Partners.Muuse’s reusable cups being tested in the pilot program in San Francisco are made out of “double-walled, vacuum-sealedstainless steel,” said Sherwin. “The lids are “’05 PP with a silicone sealer.” An app allows Muuse to “carefully track inventorymanagement on the back-end to ensure no points of return are overflowing, and cafes always have enough stock.”
