The UK's largest coffee retailer, Costa Coffee, has committed to recycling half a billion coffee cups a year by 2020 in a landmark act to tackle plastic waste. 英国最大的咖啡零售商Costa承诺将在2020年之前，每年回收5亿咖啡杯，以此应对塑料浪费问题。 The pledge, which amounts to recycling the same volume of cups it puts onto the market, would take a significant chunk out of the 2.5 billion takeaway cups thrown away across the country every year. 这个承诺相当于回收Costa每年投入市场的所有杯子，每年有25亿杯子用于外带，最后被丢失在英国各个角落，5亿占了相当大的比例。 Despite often being marked as recyclable, the vast majority of paper coffee cups end up on landfill or being incinerated due to the plastic lining used to make them waterproof. 虽然咖啡纸杯有可回收的美誉，但是大部分还是被丢弃在垃圾场，或者因为上面的防水塑料被焚烧。 |
