Paris: In a move to be more sustainable, the American fast-food chain McDonalds has introduced reusable cups and containers. The popular burger place is now trying to comply with local laws.
A report on yankodesign.com said that the new tableware is made of Tritan, a BPA-free plastic resin similar to glass and ceramic in hardness and transparency. The material is known to preserve the taste and aroma of the food.
McDonald's France has been working with Elium Studio for two years to develop a range of tableware that can be reused and washed after every use. "While matching the aesthetic of its signature packaging, the containers must also be highly durable and complimentary to the tasting experience," said a report in Hyberbeast. The new tableware is suitable for both hot and cold drinks. Even the french fry containers and condiment holders are now eco-friendly.
A Twitter user said they absolutely love the new design. French President Emmanuel Macron further reposted the tweet. He also wrote, "The anti-waste law is not just the end of plastic straws. Look around you: in France, changes are at work to change our consumption patterns and reduce our waste. We are pushing to do it globally. Let's change the situation!"
