DOMINO’S SAYS NO TO PLASTIC

Domino’s has ended its reliance on single-use plastic straws and spoons in more than 710 stores across the country.

The pizza chain estimates the change to biodegradable straws and wooden spoons will remove 2 metric tonnes or up to 2.85 million pieces of plastic from circulation each year.

In an industry first, Domino’s is also trialling a recyclable ‘lineless box’, using cutting edge technology to apply an approved food grade lining that will eliminate secondary plastic packaging from the supply chain.

If rolled out, the new concept is expected to boost franchisees’ business with reduced wastage and improved food preparation times in stores.
