McDonald's new paper straws aren't recyclable — but its axed plastic ones
were

London (CNN)McDonald's has reportedly admitted that its new paper straws,
rolled out last year to help "protect the environment," can't be recycled —
unlike the plastic versions they replaced.

The straws were introduced to all 1,361 McDonald's restaurants in the United
Kingdom and Ireland after a trial last year.

But the fast food giant acknowledged on Monday that the new versions are too
thick to be processed by its recyclers.


"While the materials are recyclable, their current thickness makes it
difficult for them to be processed by our waste solution providers, who also
help us recycle our paper cups," a McDonald's spokesman told the UK's Press
Association news agency.


McDonald's UK and Ireland has not yet responded to CNN's requests for comment.


The issue was first revealed by The Sun newspaper, which published an
internal McDonald's (MCD) memo saying that the company's paper straws "are
not yet recyclable and should be disposed of in general waste until further
notice."


When the firm announced the introduction of paper straws in June 2018, it
said the move was "part of wider efforts to protect the environment."


"The government's ambitious plans, combined with strong customer opinion, has
helped to accelerate the move away from plastic and I'm proud that we've been
able to play our part in helping to achieve this societal change," Paul
Pomroy, CEO of McDonald's UK and Ireland, said in a press release at the time.


The plastic straws previously used could be recycled, but the British
government has moved to ban plastic straws by 2020 and encouraged chains to
ditch the products.
Then-Environment Secretary Michael Gove congratulated McDonald's on "making
this significant contribution to help our natural environment" when the
initial move was made last year.

But the new straws were unpopular even before the latest revelation.


Numerous social media users complained that they became soggy in drinks, and
a petition calling on the firm to bring back their old straws has been signed
more than 50,000 times.



大略翻一下

新的紙吸管不能回收 但被砍掉的塑膠吸管可以喔

麥當勞最近承認他們去年為了"保護環境"而推出的紙吸管不能回收  但被替換掉的塑膠
吸管可以

自去年的試驗期後 這些紙吸管已經引入了全英國及愛爾蘭的1361家麥當勞


"儘管他的材質是可回收的  但他的大小造成與我們合作廠商的回收困難 這個廠商同時也
回收麥當勞的紙杯"   一個麥當勞的發言人告訴相關媒體


這個議題最先被太陽報提出 一個麥當勞內部的備忘錄指出他們新推出的紙吸管是不可
回收的 應該被丟棄到一般垃圾而不需任何提醒


當麥當勞在2018年推出紙吸管時  他們是這麼宣布的"為了替環境保護盡更大的一分努力"

當時的CEO則是這麼說 "因為公司的野心 以及顧客們強烈意志 我們加速的塑膠產品的汰換
我以推動這個社會進步的一個角色為榮"


原先的塑膠吸管是可回收的 但英國政府的"2020年全面禁止塑膠吸管"政策反而鼓勵以
掩埋來處理塑膠吸管


英國的環境事務大臣在去年則稱讚麥當勞  "在自然環境保護上做出了偉大的一步"


實際上  紙吸管在這個新聞揭露之前也是非常不受歡迎

許多關於其影響口感的抱怨出現在社交媒體上  已經有超過50000份聯署希望麥當勞
換回原本的吸管

哈哈麥當勞哈哈

任何社會進步都是需要時間

但左膠文組總是用強暴的態度  僅憑一方論點就認為自己一定是正確的

還會對反對者加以攻擊嘲諷

最後就是全民皆輸
