Sustainable Fast Food design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Big fast food companies like Starbucks and McDonalds work with NextGen Consortium by Closed Loop Partners<\/a> to bring leading brands, industry experts and innovators together to reimagine foodservice packaging, accelerating sustainable and circular solutions to reduce waste on a global scale. The Consortium\u2019s first initiative was exploring sustainable and scalable alternatives to the single-use, to-go fiber cup.<\/p>\n

Although packaging is one of the sustainability cornerstones lots of fast food companies invest in \u2013 the building, the design, the use of materials can make a difference for the environment and with rising energy prices for the revenue. In this article the example of the McDonald\u2019s flagship location in Orlando is shown, here they want to achieve the Zero Energy-Certification of the International Living Future Institute.<\/a> The International Living Future Institute\u2019s (ILFI) Zero Energy (ZE) Certification was created to allow projects to demonstrate zero energy performance, building an advanced cohort of projects with the integrity of third-party performance certification. The Market Drayton McDonald’s in England also shows much investment in this area.<\/p>\n

Here in the Netherlands, McDonalds is using ‘Scale for Good’ <\/a>in particular to reduce waste, design a more sustainable menu, and all of their new restaurants are gas-free by default. When building and renovating, they are constantly taking new sustainability measures. These include LED lighting in all restaurants, heat recovery, energy-efficient equipment and water-free urinals. Since 2008, all branches have been purchasing 100% green electricity.<\/p>\n

Lots of fast food company\u2019s have a sustainability promise, such as KFC UK<\/a>, which states it will be a circular zero waste company by 2035. KFC UK also wants to become a net zero carbon business by 2040 or sooner. To reach those goals they launched a partnership with the University of Liverpool\u2019s Zero Carbon Research Institute. They also work together with the Zero Carbon Forum<\/a>. This forum is helping the hospitality to hit net zero carbon. Companies such as Burger King, BrewDog, Fridays, Pizza Hut, IHG and many more, are members! Below the examples!<\/p>\n

Net zero energy-designed McDonald\u2019s restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

McDonald’s completed the construction of a first-of-its-kind restaurant in 2020, designed to generate enough renewable energy on-site to fulfill 100% of its net annual energy consumption. Their global flagship restaurant will serve as a learning hub for McDonald\u2019s to test solutions for reducing energy and water usage, a testament to the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation. Watch the video in the article to see what they have come up with there. Meanwhile, Chicago also opened a sustainable restaurant, check out the article on the energy-neutral McDonalds in the link in the title. You can check out the Chicago branch below.<\/p>\n
