McDonald's Corp. (MCD) Tuesday said it set new goals to improve
its packaging and reduce waste, including a commitment to have 100%
of its customer packaging from renewable, recycled or certified
sources by 2025.
The fast-food giant also set a goal to recycle guest packaging
in 100% of its restaurants by 2025.
McDonald's previously said it was aiming to have all of its
fiber-based packaging come from recycled or certified sources where
no deforestation occurs by 2020.

renewable, recycled or certified sources, and 64% of fiber-based
packaging comes from certified or recycled sources. About 10% of
McDonald's restaurants globally are recycling customer
packaging.
