McDonalds Looks for Sustainable Solutions as Packaging Policies Become Increasingly Stringent
McDonalds Looks for Sustainable Solutions as Packaging Policies Become Increasingly Stringent
Governments crack down on corporations' use of non sustainable packaging and international fast food giant McDonald's seems to be a primary target. Packaging regulations are becoming increasingly stringent especially in the EU where several policies have already been enacted. Of course its no surprise that a corporation like McDonald's would be affected, considering that they operate in various locations across Europe. While the firm continues to experiment with several potential solutions, it has already deployed reusable packaging solutions in France and Germany. However, industry experts note that there is no easy one size fits all solution and that firms who look to achieve packaging sustainability must test various solutions in order to find a strategy that works for them. Unfortunately for McDonald's their packaging supply chain seems to be very large in scale, which adds a layer of complexity to their efforts. The fast food giant recently released a study that takes a more in depth look into the pros and cons of employing reusable packaging in Europe. They also plan to release another report that will expand on the notion of using reusable packaging in their restaurants on global scale. This report is expected to be released next year.
