McDonald's Rolls Out Smaller McFlurry In Sustainable Packaging As It Eyes Full Shift To Renewable Coverings By 2025-End
McDonald's Rolls Out Smaller McFlurry In Sustainable Packaging As It Eyes Full Shift To Renewable Coverings By 2025-End
Big changes are coming to McDonald's Corp. (NYSE:MCD) McFlurry dessert starting Sept. 10. The fast-food giant will introduce a smaller version of the treat and serve it in more sustainable containers.
從9月10日開始，麥當勞公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：MCD）的McFlurry甜點將發生重大變化。這家快餐業巨頭將推出這種零食的較小版本，並將其裝在更可持續的容器中。
What Happened: McDonald's announced on Wednesday that it will replace the plastic lids previously used for McFlurrys with "a more environmentally friendly four-flap cup." This change aligns with the company's ongoing efforts to reduce plastic waste.
發生了什麼：麥當勞週三宣佈，它將用 「更環保的四蓋杯」 取代以前用於McFlurrys的塑料蓋。這一變化與該公司爲減少塑料廢物所做的持續努力相吻合。
Last year, McDonald's replaced the McFlurry's hollow-handle plastic spoon with a smaller, more sustainable plastic utensil. "Packaging updates like this matter," said Michael Gonda, McDonald's chief impact officer for North America, in a statement.
去年，麥當勞用更小、更可持續的塑料餐具取代了McFlurry的空心柄塑料勺。麥當勞北美首席影響官邁克爾·貢達在一份聲明中說：「像這樣的包裝更新很重要。」
McFlurrys are already served in four-flap cups in some international markets, including Canada and Indonesia. This move brings McDonald's closer to its goal of sourcing all packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified materials by the end of 2025.
McFlurrys已經在包括加拿大和印度尼西亞在內的一些國際市場上以四瓣杯形式供應。此舉使麥當勞更接近其目標，即到2025年底，所有包裝均採用可再生、回收或認證材料採購。
Why It Matters: This initiative is part of McDonald's broader strategy to address environmental concerns and align with global sustainability goals. In May 2021, Animal Rebellion blockaded four McDonald's distribution centers in the UK, demanding a shift to plant-based foods. This event highlighted the growing pressure on fast-food chains to adopt more sustainable practices.
爲何重要：該計劃是麥當勞解決環境問題並與全球可持續發展目標保持一致的更廣泛戰略的一部分。2021年5月，動物叛亂封鎖了麥當勞在英國的四個配送中心，要求轉向植物性食品。該活動凸顯了快餐連鎖店採取更可持續做法的壓力越來越大。
Additionally, prominent figures like Bill Gates have publicly acknowledged the environmental impact of traditional food production. Gates, who is committed to combating climate change, has expressed his conflicted feelings about enjoying cheeseburgers, which he calls a "climate disaster."
此外，比爾·蓋茨等知名人士也公開承認了傳統糧食生產對環境的影響。致力於應對氣候變化的蓋茨對享用芝士漢堡表達了矛盾的感受，他稱之爲 「氣候災難」。
McDonald's is also making significant investments to expand its presence in the UK and Ireland. In August, the company announced a bold £1 billion plan to open over 200 new locations in the region. This expansion is part of McDonald's strategy to grow its market share.
麥當勞還進行了大量投資，以擴大其在英國和愛爾蘭的業務。8月，該公司宣佈了一項10英鎊的大膽計劃，將在該地區開設200多個新地點。此次擴張是麥當勞增加其市場份額的戰略的一部分。
