The Friendly Panda’s aim is to provide the UK with eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic products such as straws, cutlery, and face masks. In doing so, we also help cottage industries in Southeast Asia by providing a UK link for the sale of their products.
The Last Straw?
It is very difficult to say with certainty just how many plastic straws are still being used every day in the UK as many fast food outlets and the hospitality sector are making changes to the straws that they supply and are coming away from single use plastic. All changes in the right direction are good but we all still have a way to go.
