Purchase single-use, degradable or biodegradable cups
Worst alternative
Considerations
Avoid single-use plastic cups as they're often light and hard to capture in the recycling process. Single-use paper cups usually have a plastic lining inside and can't go in general recycling.
Don't use items that claim to be degradable or biodegradable without verification.
Products that claim to be degradable or biodegradable can take many years to break down.
