McDonald's McFlurry Will Soon Be Served Without Plastic Lids

Across the food and beverage industries and beyond, countless brands are now rethinking their use of single-use plastic packaging, including McDonald's, as the iconic McDonald's McFlurry is even now being served in a waste-reducing container. As of the fall, McDonald's has plans to serve its McFlurry treats without lids and with containers made from carton board made with 50% recycled content and other sustainable materials.

Ultimately, McDonald's is working towards its goal of sourcing all of its packaging from renewable sources by the year 2025 and is further committing to eco-friendly measures by aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 36% by 2030.

While many fans will appreciate the waste-reducing packaging designs, they will also be elated to hear that McDonald's is planning to bring back its Oreo, Maltesers and Smarties McFlurry flavors.
