Starting September 10, McDonald’s is rolling out the Mini McFlurry, a smaller serving of the chain’s beloved sweet treat.<\/p>\n
In addition to introducing the new Mini McFlurry, McDonald’s is making efforts to be more eco-friendly by phasing out plastic McFlurry cup lids.<\/p>\n
Both the Mini and Regular McFlurry will now be served in a more environmentally friendly four-flap cup, designed to reduce waste and help McDonald’s reach its goal of sourcing 100% of primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified materials by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
The eco-friendly cups are already available in some of McDonald’s international stores in Canada and Indonesia, and the company is now bringing the sustainable packaging to participating restaurants across the U.S. for a limited time.<\/p>\n
“Packaging updates like this matter,” said McDonald’s Chief Impact Officer of North America Michael Gonda. “Not only is this a fun new way for our U.S. fans to enjoy the McFlurry; we’re also moving one step closer to fulfilling our packaging and waste commitments.”<\/p>\n
Try the new Mini McFlurry in participating restaurants across the U.S. for a limited time and indulge in one of the limited-time McFlurry sensations, including classic Oreo, M&M’s, Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry, or Grandma McFlurry, which combines delicious syrup and chopped candy pieces mixed into vanilla soft serve.<\/p>\n
McDonald’s commitment to sustainability is a positive step towards reducing waste and increasing eco-friendliness. The introduction of the four-flap cup for the McFlurry is a small but significant change that can make a big difference in the long run.<\/p>\n
