A new paper and cardboard manufacturer is in the process of starting production this summer. It's the Welsh. Transcend Packaging, a company founded in a spirit of sustainability and intended to be a reference in the United Kingdom manufacturing paper straws and folding boxes.
Although its use is not as widespread in Spain as in the United Kingdom, plastic straws are considered a scourge due to the difficulty of recycling that has its main component, plastic. The industry has decided on paper, its low environmental impact and the low cost of production.
Well done work has its awards and Transcend Packaging signed an agreement with McDonald's to replace plastic straws with paper straws from September at the 1,361 restaurants in the British Isles.
Lorenzo Angelucci, Managing Director of Transcend Packaging Ltd., said: “We greatly appreciate the support and encouragement of the Welsh Government and look forward to providing world-class packaging solutions and more jobs in Wales for many years to come. I am delighted that McDonald’s has taken this visionary step towards reducing the environmental impact of the food industry. Inspired by Sir David Attenborough's ‘Blue Planet’ series, we hope that Transcend's new range of eco-friendly products will be part of the solution for a greener world.”
After the fast food giant others like Costa Coffee or Pizza Express are expected, who have also chosen to replace plastic with materials such as the paper or paperboard in its packaging. It is only a matter of the rest of the Fast Food industry, the main consumer of paper straws, following in their footsteps.
In Spain, several companies are still struggling to end plastic: «We still have some plastic left in the collection, but almost everything is already coming out and being replaced by paper», explains Teknautas Lucía Uría, director general of Aire de Fiesta, company dedicated to the sale of products for weddings, communions and baptisms.
