The fast food restaurant will only use paper ones in all it's UK and Ireland restaurants, starting from September.
Believe or not,they say they use 1.8 million straws a day in UK.That's a lot of straws.
But McDonalds say the ban won't happen worldwide yet.
McDonalds has become the latest company to say they are going to stop using plastic straws.
We use an estimated 8.5 billion plastic straws every year in the UK.They're among the top 10 items found in beach clean-ups.
Most straws are made from plastic straws called polypropylene which, unless recycled, take hundreds of years to decopose and are only used for a very short time.
