Continente To Remove Plastic Straws From Own-Brand Milk And Juices

Portuguese retailer Continente has announced that it is to eliminate plastic straws from its private-label milk, juices, nectars and iced teas by the end of this year.

The move will see the retailer replacing plastic straws with paper alternatives in these products.

The company aims to cut the production of 35 million plastic straws per year through this initiative.

The retailer has started to roll out the products in the new packaging with paper straws and iconography featuring the recyclability of the packaging.
