    ( KTLA ) – The world-famous McDonald’s McFlurry is getting a major makeover.

    McDonald’s announced Wednesday that it will do away with the frozen treat’s plastic lid, replacing it with an environmentally friendly four-flap cup. Last October, the chain announced that it was getting rid of its signature McFlurry spoons — the ones with the hollowed-out handles.

    The change to the McFlurry lids comes as McDonald’s hopes to reduce waste and advance their goal of “100% of primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled or certified materials by the end of 2025.”

    “Packaging updates like this matter,” Michael Gonda, chief impact officer of North America for McDonald’s, said in a statement. “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.”

    The four-flap cups are currently available in international markets and will be available in the U.S. later this month.

    In addition to the packaging changes, McDonald’s announced that it’s rolling out the Mini McFlurry on Sept. 10. The mini version of the popular dessert will be available at participating restaurants nationwide.
