McDonald’s tests strawless lids

The main point of these new lids is to reduce McDonald’s reliance on certain single-use plastics in its consumer-facing packaging.

McDonald’s is currently testing if it can eliminate the use of straws as part of a long-term sustainability effort.

Strawless lids are currently being tested in some McDonald’s locations across the US.

The fast-food giant is testing cups with lids that have a pullback tab, similar to the ones used by Dunkin’ and Starbucks.

McDonald’s pull-back tab provides at least some closure to prevent spills, whereas the Starbucks lids have a wide opening that stays open.

The main point of these new lids is to reduce McDonald’s reliance on certain single-use plastics in its consumer-facing packaging.

According to McDonald’s, the lids help optimize their packaging and eliminate the use of small plastics, which is one of the many solutions they’re reviewing as part of their global commitment to reduce waste across restaurants and advance recycling.
