The famous coffee chain isn’t the only one to put an end to plastic straw use. McDonald’s in the U.K. also promised to do this and IKEA went a step further. The Swedish furniture store will ban all the signle-use plastic items like straws, plates, and garbage bags both from their stores and the accompanying restaurants.

Kroger, one of the largest grocery chains in the U.S., claims they will completely stop offering single-use plastic bags by 2025.
