A couple of years ago, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf introduced more eco-friendly practices like using glass or ceramic mugs for customers sitting in to cut down on waste. Last week I was at my local Coffee Bean at the Irvine Market Place and noticed they had the usual trash bin on one side of the entrance and a recycle bin on the other side.

In my opinion having a recycle bin at Coffee Bean is awesome! Since all their paper and plastic cups are the type of materials that can easily be recycled.
