About 580 of its stores in the U.S. have begun replacing their cold drinks cups with paper.
The coffee chain is moving away from polypropylene plastic cups.
Advocacy groups say the move may be related to Starbucks ' own sustainability targets.
The company set a goal last year to make all of its packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030 .
Starbucks says it is making ceramic mugs available for in-store dining and allowing more customers to order drinks in their own reusable cups.
Last April , the company said it had redesigned its single-use plastic cups to use up to 20 percent less plastic.
A spokesperson said the company’s polypropylene cups are compliant with applicable consumer protection laws and declined to provide additional evidence that the cups are recycled.
