Nowadays cafes are getting more and more popular for customers of all ages. The issue is that cafes usually serve their products in plastic packaging, with most of them being a single-use kind of plastic. This plastic later becomes a waste that is very difficult to deal with and very harmful to the environment. Would it be better if the cafes use more environmentally friendly packaging?

Many business owners have a misperception that a more environmentally friendly material or a compostable packaging is more expensive and would put a big cost on their bills, resulting in lower profit. 

In fact, eco-friendly and traditional plastic materials cost roughly the same now.  Not only cafes are still profitable with this eco-friendly alternative, but also building a goodwill towards our beloved planet which might affect customers’ preferences.

Eco or degradable packaging is made from a naturally compostable plastic, designed to allow the structure to break down with the right exposure to water, sun, wind, and enzymes. The molecular structure will change and be consumed by microorganisms completely, resulting in carbon dioxide, water, and other biomass. 

This kind of packaging is perfect for cafes and coffee shops because they use a lot of plastic cups, lids, straws, and other items every day. These items are mostly single used, and later become a waste that takes more than 500 years to degrade. In contrast, biodegradable plastics take only 5 years for the same result, easing the planet and reducing plastic waste.
