Working towards a
greener future
At McDonald's we recognise our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment for future generations to come.
Our goal is simple, to achieve continuous environmental improvement across all areas of our business.
Litter
We provide litter bins outside all our restaurants and are one of the biggest sponsors of council provided litter bins in the UK.
Waste
Used cooking oil represents 10% of a restaurant's total waste, and is recycled into biodiesel, which our delivery fleet runs on.
Packaging
By replacing our plastic salad containers with a paper card base we have reduced by nearly 69 tonnes the amount of plastic we purchase as a company.
Energy
All our restaurants use low energy lamps and have light level sensors installed to control external lighting. All new lighting systems also have high frequency fittings.
