McDonald&rsquo;s is kicking off the new year with eco-friendly goals. <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/mcdonalds-renews-sustainable-packaging-goals?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsr-magazine-mcdonalds-renews-sustainable-packaging-goals-2705262" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">According to QSR Magazine, the fast food giant announced on Tuesday that it&rsquo;s planning to switch to environmentally friendly packaging materials</a>. McDonald&rsquo;s will also start offering recycling at all of its locations.

Right now, McDonald&rsquo;s goal is to feature 100 percent of its packaging from recycled, renewable or certifiable sources by 2025. To make that ambitious goal a reality, the brand is going to engage products that have Forest Stewardship Council certification. It&rsquo;s also planning to eliminate all foam from its packaging by 2019. And even though this isn&rsquo;t the first time that McDonald&rsquo;s has made moves to help the environment, the brand still has a long way to go. 50 percent of the brand&rsquo;s packaging currently comes from approved sources.

In an interview with Reuters cited by QSR Magazine, McDonald&rsquo;s Chief Supply Chain and Sustainability Officer Francesca DeBiase said, &ldquo;We have a responsibility to use our scale for good to make changes that will have a meaningful impact across the globe.&rdquo;
