Starting September 10, McDonald’s will introduce a smaller Mini McFlurry alongside the regular version, both of which will now be served in more sustainable four-flap cardboard cups, replacing the plastic lids. This move is part of McDonald's broader sustainability efforts to source 100% of its packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified materials by 2025. The new eco-friendly packaging has already been rolled out in international markets like Canada and Indonesia. Michael Gonda, McDonald's Chief Impact Officer, emphasized that these packaging updates are crucial for reducing waste and meeting the company’s environmental goals. The Mini McFlurry will be available for a limited time across participating U.S. locations. This change follows the previous removal of the McFlurry's hollow-handle plastic spoon.
