McDonald”™s restaurants in the U.K. will be discontinuing the use of plastic cutlery over the next two years.
According to a report in Tasting Table, the move will result in the removal of 1.88 million pounds of plastic from the company’s supply chain. Instead of plastic, the U.K. McDonald”™s will use paper-based cutlery that is fully recyclable and compostable.
All of the U.K. McDonald”™s will be free of plastic packaging by 2024. However, no similar plan is in the works for the McDonald”™s eateries in the U.S.
