Major fast-food restaurant chain McDonalds has set itself a goal of procuring 100 per cent of its fibre-based packaging from certified or recycled sources by 2020. This compares to 13.9 per cent now. In its new 2012-13 CSR & Sustainability Report, McDonalds revealed that of the more than 34,000 restaurants surveyed worldwide, about 90 per cent reported recycling cooking oil and about 77 per cent recycled corrugated cardboard. The company has also reduced the average amount of packaging it gives to the consumer per transaction from 58.1 grams in 2011 to 57.5 in 2013 through product optimisation and weight reduction.
