Amazon cafe suspends ‘bring your own cup’ campaign

Thai coffee shop chain ‘Amazon’ announced today the suspension of their promotional campaign called “Café Amazon for Earth” which was aiming to reduce plastic waste by allowing customers to bring their personal cup when buying a beverage and receive a discount of 5 baht.

The company says the decision to end the promotion was made to increase customers’ awareness to prevent the possible spreading of Covid-19 which might come from personal cups being brought to the shop. The campaign was scheduled to run throughout April at all branches nationwide.
