It’s no secret that the world has a plastic problem: Globally, almost 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually—half of which is single-use—and more than eight million tons of that plastic are dumped into the ocean, according to the Plastic Oceans Foundation. This is devastatingly harmful to the environment, unsurprisingly, which is why several travel companies and destinations have stepped up to reduce their output by eliminating single-use plastics (e.g. straws). Here’s a list of who has pledged to #stopsucking, so far:

Airlines

Alaska Airlines
Alaska was the original airline to ditch straws. On May 21, it announced that single-use plastic straws—and “citrus picks”—will be banned from all of its flights and airport lounges starting July 16, as previously reported by Traveler.

American Airlines
Starting July in its lounges, American will replace all plastic straws with biodegradable straws, swap plastic drink picks with wooden ones, and start offering eco-friendly flatware. Come November, only wooden drink picks will be offered in flight. Overall, the airline expects to cut down its plastic use by 71,000 pounds a year.

Delta Air Lines
On Wednesday, October 24, Delta announced that it will be removing “a variety of single-use plastic items, including stir sticks, wrappers, utensils and straws” from planes and lounges, according to a statement—reducing its plastic waste by an estimated 300,000 pounds a year. Straws and stir sticks will be replaced onboard with alternatives by mid-2019; bamboo for cold drinks, and birch wood for hot drinks. Delta One’s Tumi kits will also no longer be wrapped in plastic. As for the lounges, the bamboo and birch alternatives are already being rolled out, in addition to compostable dishes and cutlery.

United Airlines
United’s #SheddTheStraw campaign, launched September 2018, aims to eliminate plastic stirrers and cocktail picks from aircraft by November 2018—bamboo products will be offered as an alternative. The airline is also looking to work with more environmentally friendly brands for onboard catering.

Cruises

Royal Caribbean
The cruise liner intends to eliminate all plastic straws on its ships by the end of this year—guests will be asked to use paper straws instead. In the future, Royal Caribbean will also implement wooden coffee stirrers and drink picks, and look to get rid of plastic bags, cups, and condiment packets at the start of 2019, too, per USA Today.

Carnival Cruises
In April, Carnival announced that it would cease providing straws for cocktails and sodas automatically, according to USA Today—effective immediately. Passengers will only be able to get them upon request. (Straws for frozen drinks are an exception.)

Hurtigruten
The Norwegian cruise line pledged that by July 2, 2018, it would remove all unnecessary single-use plastic—including straws and cups, coffee lids and plastic bags—from its ships, and replace it with environmentally friendly substitutes.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
The parent company of Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said on July 30 that it would stop using “single-use plastic straws across its fleet of 26 ships and two island destinations, Great Stirrup Cay and Harvest Caye,” by August 2018. The company says the move will save 50 million straws a year going forward.

Peregrine Adventures
Peregrine Adventures has a reputation for being eco-friendly, and bolstered it by banning unnecessary single-use plastics (straws, cups, etc.) on all its exclusive charter adventure cruises.

Uniworld
On July 18, the boutique river cruise line pledged to eliminate single-use plastics by 2022. Plastic water bottles and straws have already been removed from all 18 of its ships.

Virgin Voyages
On July 20, the forthcoming cruise line confirmed that plastic straws, bottles, shopping bags, food packaging, stirrers, and take-away coffee cups won’t be onboard its ships.

Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic
Linblad Expeditions-National Geographic—a partnership that offers adventure cruises to six continents—officially became single use plastic-free as of July 25. Plastic bottles, straws, cups, and stirrers have been removed from all 13 of its ships.

Hotels

Akaryn Hotel Group
The Southeast Asian hotel group just announced its plan to eliminate single-use plastics in all six of its Thailand locations by 2020—the first Asian hotel group to make this pledge. Akaryn also opened its first single-use plastic free hotel, the akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok, this past June, substituting plastic toothbrushes and combs with ones made from cornstarch, and using biodegradable garbage bags in guest rooms.

Hilton
Back in May, the hotel chain announced that it’ll be removing plastic straws from all 650 of their hotels by the end of this year (eliminating 35 million straws annually). The hotel chain also has an overall goal of cutting their environmental impact in half by 2030.

Four Seasons
Four Seasons announced in April that it would eliminate plastic straws from all 110 of their hotels by the end of 2018.

AccorHotels
AccorHotels said in May that they would be banning plastic straws in all of their 125 UK locations, effective June 1, which has also expanded to their 83 North America and Central locations this month.

Back in February, Marriott International pledged to remove plastic straws from 60 of its U.K. hotels, with biodegradable or paper replacements available upon request. In mid-July, they expanded that promise: All 6,500 Marriott hotels and resorts worldwide, along with corporate HQ, will be straw-free by July 2019. Plastic drink stirrers will also be removed—in total, the company expects to eliminate 1 billion plastic straws and 0.25 billion plastic stirrers per year.  The company will also replace mini plastic shampoo bottles with wall-mounted dispensers in 1,500 of its North American hotels, per the press release, eliminating more than 35 million plastic toiletry bottles a year. The modifications will be completed by the end of 2018.

Edition Hotels
The Marriott-owned brand, which has 11 locations (including London, Abu Dhabi, and Barcelona), plans to remove all single-use plastics from their hotels in 2019.

1Hotels
1Hotels launched their switch-out, no plastic campaign, where they asked Black Friday customers to switch out plastic bags for reusable ones, with a startling fact—by 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than there are fish. The brand offers biodegradable straws instead of plastic ones upon request, and their rooms have glass cups and filtered water instead of plastic bottles, according to Mic. Even their mattresses have minimal environmental impact, as they’re made of organic cotton. (You can learn more about their eco-friendly options here.)

Hyatt
Hyatt announced mid-July that they plan on phasing out plastic straws and drink picks at all of their locations (there are more than 700), and will only offer them upon request starting September 1, as previously reported by Traveler. “Eliminating plastic straws and drink picks builds on the environmental sustainability programs we have in place and further drives our global efforts to reduce environmental impact,” said Hyatt’s senior vice president of global operations, Frank Lavey, in a statement.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico
Hotel Xcaret, which opened this past December on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, offers guests biodegradable straws made from avocado pits instead of plastic (yes, really). The hotel take sustainability pretty seriously—all organic waste is composted on-site, and contribute a portion of hotel profit to animal welfare and endangered species conservation programs.

AMResorts
Effective August 28, AMResorts, which has 55 locations across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America, will no longer provide plastic straws with drinks. Instead, biodegradable options will be available.

Tour Operators

G Adventures
The Boston-based company, which focuses on small group adventure travel, doesn’t offer plastic straws on any of its ships, and its onboard toiletries are in reusable containers. On July 26, G Adventures also announced that they will give travelers a free stainless steel water bottle on Galapagos trips (both land and sea-based) starting on January 1, 2019. This is in preparation for the Galapagos Islands’ own ban on non-reusable water bottles, which goes into effect February 26, 2019.

Corporations

The Walt Disney Company
On July 26, the Walt Disney Company sent out a press release saying that all Disney locations around the world will be single use plastic-free by mid-2019. An estimated 175 million plastic straws and 13 million plastic stirrers will be eliminated each year with this decision. But that’s not all—Disney-owned hotels and cruise ships will also start using “refillable in-room amenities,” and plastic bags will be removed from parks and ships, with reusable bags available for purchase.
Restaurants and coffee chains

HMS Host
HMSHost, a restaurant company with footholds in multiple airports across the U.S. (including Wicker Park Seafood & Sushi at Chicago O’Hare and Barcüterie in Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport), said in a press release in July that they plan to eliminate all plastic straw use by 2020. Around 100 million straws were used at their North American locations last year, per the release.

Starbucks
Your favorite airport caffeine fix is about to go straw-free. In July, the coffee company revealed its goal to eliminate all plastic straws in stores by 2020, which could potentially eliminate one billion straws a year. The replacement? A sippy-cup lid (with compostable plastic or paper straw available upon request). This decision piggybacks its existing policy to take ten cents off your purchase if you place your order with a reusable cup.

Intelligentsia Coffee
All Intelligentsia stores will stop providing plastic straws on July 15, 2018. Going forward, customers have the option to ask for a compostable straw or buy a reusable metal straw in-store. Like Starbucks, there are bonus points if you bring your own cup.

Joe Coffee
The NYC and Philadelphia-based chain will replace all single-use plastic straws with compostable straws made from cornstarch in July 2018, effective in all 19 locations.
