Cofee: plastic disposable cup or glass cup (need to use detergent to wash it). Which is the best eco-option?

I want to know which of the options is more environment friendly (consideren use of water and detergent to wash the glass cup)Cofee: plastic disposable cup or glass cup (need to use detergent to wash it). Which is the best eco-option?
The glass cup/mug is most eco-friendly.





If you're a coffee drinker, odds are you'll have coffee in the mug more often than not, so you actually just rinse it and use zero detergent.





And for the die hard coffee drinkers, you'd be rinsing the mug with hot coffee - germs don't stand a chance!





In the end, use permanent instead of disposable, paper cups over plastic/styrofoam, and re-use the disposables more than once.





From an energy use standpoint, go for the renewable/eco-friendly choice, rather than the lower energy choice, to show support for the product so that mfrs will work to reduce the energy to manufacture and recycle that product.

You will use a tiny amount of detergent every time you wash the mug. Compare that to the amount of plastic you will create by throwing away a cup every time for the lifetime of the mug (say, 10,000 cups of coffee). The mug is a better choice.
the best eco-option is the glasscup.not only is the glass cup reuseable but it is also recycleable.there are also biodegradeable soaps that are eco-friendly. the plastic cup is neither and will end up in a landfill for 100 years
You can use natural or biodegradable soaps to clean dishes, so any type of reusable cup is better. Plastics don't ever biodegrade they break down into toxic little bits so avoid when ever possible.
Glass mugs. Reusable and you can buy eco-friendly detergent like seventhgeneration.
well if you wash your cup with a non-toxic soap like me, i think the glass cup
