The latest move by fast food giant McDonald's has left some fans fuming. It is axing plastic cutlery in all its UK restaurants and replacing them with paper ones.
Instantly taking to Twitter, one fan raged: "Paper straws are bad enough how do you eat with paper cutlery." The action will "remover over 850 tonnes of plastic", according to the food retailer.
Making the announcement, McDonald's confirmed to customers, via Twitter: "That's right, we're cancelling plastic cutlery and replacing it with a new sustainable, paper-based material in all of our restaurants in the UK & Ireland. We're doing this to remove over 850 tonnes of plastic from our supply chain a year, as part of our Plan for Change.
