Burger King has announced a major change to its packaging that will affect every store across the UK in a move to become a more eco-friendly brand.
The fast-food chain has said it will be cutting back on its single-use plastic waste by ditching the lids from soft drinks with immediate effect. It is anticipated the move will remove a whopping 17 million plastic lids from circulation, saving more than 30,000kg of plastic every year, reports WalesOnline.
The move makes up part of Burger King's commitment to becoming a more sustainable brand by phasing out its reliance on single-use plastic in all UK branches by the end of 2025. The pledge has previously seen the burger chain make the ground-breaking step of removing all plastic and non-biodegradable toys from their King Jr Meals in 2019.
