McDonalds rolls out four-flap McFlurry cups to enhance packaging recyclability
Sustainability

McDonald’s is updating its McFlurry packaging with a more sustainable design, rolling out to participating U.S. locations starting September 10th.

The new packaging will feature a four-flap cup, eliminating the need for plastic lids and helping to reduce waste. This change supports McDonald’s broader goal of sourcing 100% of its primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified materials by the end of 2025.

The introduction of the four-flap cups, already used in countries like Canada and Indonesia, will coincide with the launch of the Mini McFlurry, a smaller serving of the popular treat. Customers will be able to choose between the classic and mini sizes, both served in the new environmentally-friendly cups.

Whether opting for OREO®, M&M’S®, or a special limited-time flavor, customers can enjoy their McFlurry knowing it comes in packaging designed to reduce environmental impact.

Michael Gonda, SVP, Chief Impact Officer of North America for McDonald's, said: Packaging updates like this matter. 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.
