Starbucks will charge customers 5p for using paper cups in its 950 stores in Britain in an attempt to reduce single-use paper and plastic waste.

为了减少一次性纸制品和塑料制品的浪费，星巴克将在英国的950家门店向使用纸杯的顾客额外收5便士。

From Thursday July 26, customers who bring in are usable cup for their hot drink will get a 25p discount.

从7月26日星期四起，顾客携带可重复使用的杯子来盛放他们的热饮将获得25便士的折扣。

However, those that ask for a paper cup will lose out on the 25p saving and will also be charged a 5p 'latte levy'.

然而，那些要求用纸杯的顾客将无法节省这25便士，而且还将被额外收取5便士的拿铁税”。

The move comes after a successful three-month trial in London, which saw a 126 per cent increase uplift in the use of reusable cups.

先前星巴克的这一举措在伦敦进行了为期三个月的试运行而且十分成功，期间人们携带可重复使用杯子的比例增加了126%，之后星巴克将在全英国实行这一举措。

'The three-month trial across 35 London stores showed encouraging results and we now want to test the possible impact of a 5p cup charge on a mass scale', a spokesperson said.

在伦敦35家星巴克门店进行的为期三个月的试运行展现出鼓舞人心的成效，如今我们想在更大范围内测试额外收5便士的潜在影响，”星巴克的一位发言人表示。

'We will monitor the roll out across Britain closely and will be sharing the results widely, before deciding on any permanent charges.

'我们会在全英国监测这一方案的实施并将广泛分享其结果，之后我们会决定是否永久实施这一方案。

”It also follows the announcement yesterday that it would eliminate plastic drinking straws inits stores globally within two years.

昨天星巴克还宣布两年内将在其全球门店内停止使用塑料饮料吸管。

To carry out this change, Starbucks will make a strawless lid or alternative material straw options available for certain drinks at more than 28,000 stores.

为了实现这一转变，星巴克将在28000多家门店中为某些饮品定制不需要用吸管的盖子或可替代材料制成的吸管。

The strawless lid is already available in over 8,000 stores in the US and Canada for select beverages.

在美国和加拿大的8000多家门店，星巴克已经为一些选定的饮品提供不需要用吸管的盖子。
