Wimpy officially ditches plastic straws
The move is said to be part of their commitment to reduce non-recyclable waste throughout their stores.
Wimpy has announced that they will now only provide their new biodegradable paper straws instead of using ones made of plastic.
The red and white straws can also be composted and disposed along with food waste. It also comes in two sizes: one for milkshakes and one for soft or sparkling drinks.
The move is said to be part of their commitment to reduce non-recyclable waste throughout its estate.
“We’re making good on the promise we made in 2018 to source a sustainable and suitable alternative to plastic straws. We are delighted to have come up with a solution which we believe will go down extremely well with customers and adds a big tick to our sustainability goals,” Chris Woolfenden, general manager of Wimpy UK, said.
