Hi all, I am a going Green coffee shop in Oregon and i have done much research on cold cups and it seems like everywhere i turn i find out more information that muddies my decision. I understand that NO cold to go cups would be best...people bring their own cups...this isnt going to happen for the majority of customers soooo....the corn based ones are more expensive which i am willing to do but there are many considerations about how and if they really break down much better than plastic AND they take many more resources to make than plastic. I have thought about going with only the paper cups (the hot cups..although they are plastic lined) and using these for cold drinks as well....paper surely must break down faster than plastic or corn...even with the plastic liner! Anyone? Ideas? Solutions? thanks!
