U.K. McDonald’s Puts Waste to Green Use
The U.K. line of McDonald’s restaurants are planning on converting their entire fleet of vehicles to biodiesel models. The biodiesel will be made out of the restaurant’s own used cooking oil.
“This is a great example of how businesses can work together to help the environment,” said its senior vice president Matthew Howe.

The fast-food chain has pledged to convert all its 155 vehicles by next year, starting with 45 lorries based at its distribution centre in Hampshire.
By using the fuel – made by combining cooking oil and rapeseed oil – the firm said it would save more than 1,650 tonnes of carbon every year.
The move follows a successful trial last year.
I can only hope this move reaches our side of the ocean soon!
