Design Museum, the Swedish furniture retailer, has unveiled a display featuring its symbolic last single-use plastic straw at London’s Ikea. The company stopped serving or selling such straws in the UK and Ireland this week. Design Museum has also pledged to phase out all single-use plastic products from its stores and restaurants across the world by 2020. The installation encourages visitors to reduce their own environmental impacts. Design Museum is also running a three-year Lagom project which aims to give staff and customers the opportunity to test products that reduce waste and save energy and water.
