Zero Waste Partnership Accomplishes Scottish First For McDonald’s Franchise

Industry Today:

Over the last 18 months the William Tracey Group has been working with McDonald’s franchisee Steve Tomlin to drive waste produced at Steve’s McDonald’s Greenock franchise away from landfill, a move which makes both environmental and economical sense for business owners today.

Any food waste from the restaurant’s kitchen is collected by William Tracey Group and sent for Anaerobic Digestion, a process which digests this material into methane used for electricity generation and compost. The William Tracey Group’s food recycling service is the latest service to be launched which provides 100% recycling route for a waste stream which may have otherwise gone to landfill. All other non-food waste in the kitchen comes to the William Tracey Groups 10 hectare site at Linwood where it is sorted for recycling in a state of the art manufacturing recycling facility (MRF).
