Step by step
Since January 1, the company has replaced more than 60% of all plastic packaging with more environmentally friendly alternatives of 100% recycled and certified raw materials: spoons, forks, knives, hot drink stirrers have been replaced with wooden ones, and plastic straws and cups with lids for McSundae ice cream have been replaced with paper ones.
Since January 11, all restaurants have launched Straw Upon Request initiative that allows customers to eliminate the use of straws for cold beverages to reduce waste and treat the environment more responsibly. In December 2020, this initiative was piloted with plastic straws in McDonald’s restaurant in 28 Pritytskogo Str. It found support and a positive response from our customers and allowed us to reduce the use of plastic by 50 kg for just two weeks in one restaurant.
By 2022 Belarus will become one of the first markets where McDonald’s will replace plastic toys at Happy Meal by sustainable alternatives.

McDonald’s coffee is grown with care for the environment and the people who work in the production facility. This is evidenced by the international UTZ and Rain Forest Alliance certifications and numerous corporate audits that every supplier approved by McDonald’s Corporation passes.
