Did you know McDonald\u2019s has built a restaurant out of mass timber? In S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, the fast\u2011food giant has opened what it calls the most sustainable McDonald\u2019s in the country, a 220\u2011square\u2011metre building constructed almost entirely from cross\u2011laminated timber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed by local practice Superlim\u00e3o Studio<\/a>, the restaurant forms part of McDonald\u2019s global \u201cRecipe for the Future\u201d <\/a>initiative and showcases a striking tree\u2011inspired structure made from engineered wood. The project aligns with the company\u2019s commitment to reach net\u2011zero emissions across its supply chain and its 40,000 restaurants by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re trying to signal to our partners, investors, suppliers, other brands in the global community, policymakers, that we share that vision for 2050,\u201d then\u2011Chief Sustainability Officer Jenny McColloch told Reuters<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
