LEON switches to paper alternatives

The brand announced that it will be moving from plastic cutlery to compostable and biodegradable alternatives.

Since 2015, LEON has pursued three environmental priorities which include increasing the amount of plant-based items on our menu, switching from carbon fuels to UK renewable energy, and eliminating plastics and non-recyclable paper cups.

LEON said in a statement, "Now we have an opportunity to continue the discussion in the restaurant industry, about how to better match the nutritional needs of the individual, with the ecological needs of the planet, whilst supporting economic growth. Because straws aren’t the last of it."
