McDonald’s could boost UCO biodiesel production 20% in the UK with new upgrades

In the UK, edie reports that McDonald’s is set to boost its biodiesel production thanks to a partnership with German appliance manufacturer Miele who will update its washing machines at more than 1,300 restaurants around that country to increase grease collection. Miele says that upgrading its washers will allow McDonald’s to boost its biodiesel production by 20% per year while keeping FOG out of the local wastewater treatment systems, reducing the chance of fatbergs building up in sewers.
