Indian McDonald’s franchisee goes in big for UCO biodiesel

July 23, 2018 |

In India, the Press Trust of India reports that the McDonald’s master franchisee for the western and southern parts of the country is rolling out a pilot program where used cooking oil from its restaurants will be used to produce biodiesel that will then fuel part of its refrigerated truck fleet. The pilot will start in Mumbai, where 35,000 liters of UCO from 85 restaurants will be recycled, and will then expand to Bengaluru before expanding to all 277 of is restaurants. The company teamed with Australia’s BioCube earlier this year to convert the UCO into fuel.
