McDonald&#8217;s is trying to prevent the EU Commission&#8217;s planned increase in the reusable quota with an &#8220;untrustworthy&#8221; and &#8220;tendentious&#8221; study, said Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) in Berlin on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The study, commissioned by McDonald&#8217;s from the consulting firm Kearney, is said to show that a mandatory reusable rate for fast food restaurants would lead to more waste, higher greenhouse gas emissions and additional water consumption. Disposable packaging, on the other hand, could even be more sustainable, especially if it is made of paper.<\/p>\n<p>DUH considers the study&#8217;s assumptions &#8220;unrealistic&#8221;. &#8220;The water consumption assumed for the rinsing of reusable packaging is much too high in the McDonald&#8217;s study,&#8221; explained Thomas Fischer of DUH. In addition, the makers of the Kearney study assumed too low return rates and low circulation figures for reusable tableware. &#8220;These data do not match those of relevant studies and life cycle assessments,&#8221; DUH complained.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/waste-management-world.com\/resource-use\/environmentalists-accuse-mcdonalds-of-lobbying-against-reusable-tableware\/\">Waste Management World<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-418\/\">Environmentalists accuse McDonald&#8217;s of lobbying against reusable tableware<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,6575,829,11901],"class_list":["post-117811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-mcdonalds","tag-packaging","tag-reuseable"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
