NARRATIVE – Since 1er January, some fast food chains are forced to serve their meals on reusable dishes. In practice, the implementation does not happen so quickly.
The new rules had been inaugurated with great fanfare. On January 2, the Minister for Ecological Transition and Regional Planning Christophe Béchu and his colleague Bérangère Couillard, Secretary of State for Ecology, went to a McDonald’s in Le Mans (Sarthe). Objective: to promote the discontinuation of the use of disposable tableware in certain fast food chains – only those with at least 20 seats. Drinks and food consumed on site must, since 1er January, be served in suitable cups, plates and containers. By going to this fast food restaurant where plastic jars have been offered to customers since October, Christophe Béchu wanted to encourage late chains to jump on the bandwagon. But a few days after the entry into force of this obligation, following the vote of the Agec law of 2020, all the restaurants concerned are not necessarily there.
