--A reader was looking for an article on reusable cups being as potentially bad as disposable cups---it MIGHT be this one:
FAST COMPANY, AUGUST 2019----Gulp. Your reusable coffee mug may be just as bad for the environment as a disposable
EXCERPT---According
to the waste hierarchy, preventing waste should be the first priority.
Reusable cups have surged in popularity, and most major coffee shops
offer a discount for customers who bring their own (often worth far more
than the disposable cup itself). Nevertheless, reusable cups typically
make less than 5% of sales. The unavoidable truth is that it simply
isn’t convenient for people on the run to remember their cup, carry it
around, and wash it out between uses. What’s more, it can take between 20 and 100 uses for a reusable cup to offset its higher greenhouse gas emissions compared to a disposable, due to the greater amount of energy and material required to make a durable product and the hot water needed to wash them.
