Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan Ltd. will stop providing plastic spoons and forks in its Japan stores, gradually switching to wooden ones at all 1,200 locations by the end of April next year.
This change will reduce plastic use by about 80 tons a year, the company said Monday. It will consider replacing its other plastic products, such as straws, with alternatives made from eco-friendly materials in the future, it added.
