McDonald’s UAE has revealed its latest milestone in its biodiesel programme which gets used cooking oil (UCO) from their restaurants converted to 100% biodiesel to fuel their supply trucks.

To date, McDonald’s UAE’s supply trucks have travelled 20 million kilometers on pure biodiesel, saving 16,761,117 kg of carbon dioxide and related greenhouse gasses – equivalent to the weight of 33,522 camels.

McDonald’s UAE reduces its CO2 emissions through the biodiesel programme with Neutral Fuels, compared to driving on regular petro-diesel.

The biodiesel program, launched in 2011, stems from a partnership between McDonald’s UAE and Neutral Fuels aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the brand’s restaurants. It also enhances a sustainable circular economy for the restaurant chain.
