WITH the rising concern over plastic waste from the bubble tea business, some owners are adopting more eco-friendly measures such as serving their drinks in paper cups, offering paper straws as an alternative and encouraging customers to bring their own tumblers.

The matter was highlighted at a meeting in August between Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) and bubble tea shop operators in SS15, Subang Jaya.
