Introduction
This paper is a brief of a presentation based on McDonald’s management structure towards use of plastic. As of 2016, McDonald's was the world's largest restaurant chain by sales, serving over 69 million people daily in over 100 countries through 36,900 units. In response to changing consumer tastes and a negative backlash due to the unhealthy nature of its cuisine, the firm has added salads, fish, smoothies and fruit to its menu (Abd-Aziz et al., 2019).
McDonald's was one of the first major restaurant companies in the United States to undertake broad testing of plastic straw replacements. This paper will discuss about the McDonald’s strategies to deal with issue of excessive use of plastic and challenges they have faced. Further, it will be discussed about the solution and measures taken by McDonalds have and benefits of them.
Background
Every gram of plastic manufactured throughout the world began as a lump of coal, a slick of oil, or a cylinder of natural gas. The polymers used to make our straws are, in principle, recyclable, but the vast majority are not. Many plastics cannot be recycled because of the way these modern, produced polymers are heated and cured. Plastic straws are said to have been banned in Seattle for the first time in the United States. Last May, Bon Appétit Management, a 1,000-location restaurant service firm, declared that it would no longer use them (Ivonkovic, Zeljko, Talic & Lasic, 2017).
Beginning in September, McDonald's will replace plastic straws with paper straws at its restaurants in the United Kingdom and Ireland. By 2020, Alaska Airlines will be one of the first airlines to phase out plastic straws. The fast-food business has been publicly chastised for its part in pollution, author further added. McDonald's has received a lot of opposition for their largely plastic packaging, which has many negative environmental implications.
Problem
Global plastic output in 2015 was 300 million tonnes, with around 30 million tonnes dumped on land and 50 million tonnes incinerated. The food industry generates the majority of land-based plastic garbage (Abd-Aziz et al., 2019). More than half of all produced plastics, including plastic straws, are discarded after single use, resulting in 150 million tonnes of plastic trash globally each year. Plastic makes between 80–95% of ocean garbage. Plastic production has grown at an annual rate of 8.5 percent on average since 1950.
According to the study, in 2016, 86 percent of plastic garbage in Canada was disposed of in landfills, while 9 percent was recycled, 4 percent was transformed into energy and 1 percent was abandoned to the environment. Plastic pollution has a negative impact on both marine and freshwater ecosystems, as well as plant development. Plastic contamination, for example, wreaks havoc on soil health, resulting in lower yield. The aquaculture industry's viability, safety, productivity and profitability are also harmed by plastic pollution.
Advancement in Plastic Straws
Straws were initially used thousands of years ago, according to archaeological findings. A Sumerian seal from 3000 B.C. depicts two men sipping beer with tubular devices that resemble drinking straws. In 1888, Marvin Chester Stone applied for the first patent for a paper drinking straw. With the discovery of polypropylene (PP) in the 1950s, the plastic straw was launched (Ivonkovic et al., 2017).
Only recently has the market seen the introduction of eco-friendly and reusable straws made from natural plants. Several businesses have pledged to discontinue the sale or distribution of single-use plastic straws. Other cities, regions and nations have been affected by this wave, including Europe, India and Canada. Many localities have enacted a ban with limited exceptions. Paper straws are being worked on to make them more water repellent. To increase the hydrophobicity of paper or paperboard straws, plant-based wax has also been introduced.
Impact of Reducing Single Use Plastic
LCA and LCC are often used to create complete and trustworthy information on the economic, environmental and social impacts for conscious producers, decision-makers and consumers.
Environmental
The use of bio-based plastic straws saves energy consumption throughout the manufacturing process,...
