Aramark partnership offers a sustainable solution to single-use straws

Aramark UK has teamed up with Edible Straws to offer a sustainable solution to single-use straws across Merlin sites in the UK, such as Chessington World of Adventure Resort, LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort and Alton Towers Resort.

Edible Straws emerged as a sustainable alternative by a group of enthusiastic individuals united with a common goal to develop an enjoyable substitute for plastic and paper straws. Fuelled by an unyielding commitment to address the urgent global challenge of disposable straws, the company is steadfast in its mission to offer an extraordinary, tasty, and eco-friendly option.

Edible Straws are made from 100 per cent natural sugars and come in various delicious flavours. From fruity bursts to chocolaty indulgences, the straws enhance the beverage experience while providing a sustainable alternative.

Daniel Clark, Aramark Merlin Account Director, commented: “By introducing Edible Straws across our sites, we are taking a significant step forward in reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable choices for our valued clients. With Edible Straws now available at iconic Merlin, we aim to inspire visitors of all ages to contribute to a more sustainable planet.”

Keith Wearing, Director of Edible Straws added: “We’re thrilled to partner with Aramark UK in this remarkable journey towards sustainability. Our collaboration signifies a significant step in raising awareness about eco-friendly choices and empowering individuals to positively impact the environment without compromising on taste and quality.”
