A big food-service company with eateries at major U.S. college campuses, museums and other institutions is going to ban plastic straws and stirrers at all of its more than 1,000 locations in 33 states. Bon Appétit Management said Thursday it will start phasing in the ban immediately and that it will be complete by September 2019. Then, it will offer paper straws to diners who have physical challenges or “strongly feel the need” for one.
