    If the cups aren’t plastic they’re unrecyclable paper amalgamations. Plastic bags were recyclable but now we have reusable ones that aren’t. Or both. Same for straws. They gave up after a year or so around here.

      Its was never about being recyclable. Its about microplastics that form when it starts to decompose.

        It was never about consumer behavior, just another front in the culture war while the people who could actually do something about pollution hide behind endless discussions about straws.
