Ribena is ending its use of plastic straws after a successful trial of paper alternatives on its drinks cartons, it has said.

After the trial in Tesco stores, brand owner Suntory Beverage and Food GB&I (SBF GB&I), said it was now making the 100% recyclable paper alternative available on every carton.
