Burger King will stop handing out plastic toys in its children’s meals, Reuters says referring to the Burger King report.
As to the report, Burger King has launched an amnesty for customers to return any freebies in a bid to tackle the growing problem of plastic waste.
The company expects the action at its restaurants across Britain will save an estimated 320 tonnes of single use plastic every year.
As to Burger King, it had been galvanized by Southampton sisters Ella and Caitlin McEwans Change.org petition calling on Burger King and McDonalds to stop giving plastic toys with their kids meals for the sake of the environment.
In meanwhile, Burger King UK Chief Executive, Alasdair Murdoch, said the plastic toy initiative was one strand of a wider strategy to reduce packaging.
«What we are really focused on is removing single-use plastics, and that’s why we’ve done that with the toys,» Murdoch said.
