| McDonald's is facing a new challenge regarding its packaging as environmental activists push for reusable packaging for Big Macs and fries. While the fast food chain transitioned from styrofoam to paper
packaging three decades ago, it is now under pressure to adopt more
sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging options. - McDonald's
has set a goal to have all of its products in recycled or renewable
materials by 2025, and this new battle over packaging aligns with its
ongoing sustainability initiatives.
- The fast-food giant has
been progressing in its sustainability efforts, such as introducing
fiber-based lids and removing plastic straws from some of its markets.
- McDonald's
has already been testing new initiatives, such as reusable coffee cups
in the U.K., where the restaurant holds a deposit until you return the
cup.
- A report from Upstream Solutions, which looked at 121
businesses and 11 institutional dining programs, found that 100% saved
money when adopting reusable packaging.
