A conversation the day before about single use plastics with Andy Lu, a smart machinery marketing expert from the Taiwan External Trade Development Council, had sent me on this chase.

“McDonald’s in Taipei have already gotten rid of straws,” he said, casually.

 Plastic straws will largely be phased out. And guess what? It’s OK. They’ll be replaced by recyclable PP lids. And the industry and environment will be better for it.

Still that lid is going to be a big littered problem.  Anything take away has a high degree of littering.  Just look at coffee cup lid littering.  Massive amount of littering.
