McDonald's decided that it would no longer provide plastic straws in non-required cases, or it might provide paper straws.
First, two test sites in London will completely eliminate plastic straws. Starting in May of this year, the straws in both restaurants will be replaced by paper versions made of recycled materials.
Second, it can be said that more importantly, all 1300 McDonald's restaurants in the UK will start supplying straws only when needed. Paul Pomroy, head of McDonald's UK, told Sky News: 'If you start entering McDonald's next month You will be asked if you need a straw.
This may seem like a trivial change, but having to seek straw behavior will force people to think, even if it is just a few seconds, they really need such products.
Paul also pointed out that fast-food chains have been committed to fully recyclable packaging. So far, this proportion has reached 80%, and the problem of dealing with plastic straws will help to make up for the remaining gap. More foam or polystyrene Box will not be distributed.
The most common waste items found on the beach are plastic pouches, ie in small areas of the world (especially in Asia), small plastic bags that are widely used for the sale of food, condiments, personal care products and cosmetics, and even drinking water. , The smallest package makes the item cheaper, but the pouch is generally not recyclable.
McDonald's is not the only fast-food chain to try to bid farewell to disposable plastic. Leon, the co-founder of the British hotel chain, felt the threat of rubbish in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. He 'swear to come back and make a dramatic difference to end this madness. Contributions. '; Grocery store Iceland has stopped selling straw. Pizza Express and Wetherspoony are also planning to phase out disposable plastics.
