McDonald’s opened the first restaurant in Ukraine, created according to the principles of sustainable design
On September 20, FDI “McDonald’s Ukraine Ltd.”, which develops a chain of McDonald’s fast-service restaurants in Ukraine, opened in Lviv the first restaurant in the country created according to the principles of sustainable design.
The company specified that this facility became an example of fulfilling global environmental obligations and implementing the principles of circular economy. The design uses the principle of monomateriality: only one type of material is used for the manufacture of individual decor elements, which greatly simplifies their processing. In addition, the decoration mainly uses mechanical fasteners without glue, which allows you to dismantle the elements for reuse, repair or recycling without problems.
Decorative coverings for furniture, walls and ceilings are made from recycled materials – plastic, textiles, coffee waste and others. For example, the chairs and tabletops are made from 100% recycled plastic, and more than half of the ceiling is made from recycled waste and can be disassembled and reused.
Like other establishments of the chain, the restaurant in Lviv is energy-efficient: during construction, modern heat-insulating materials, equipment, a recovery system and heat pumps were used, which ensure a significant saving of energy resources.
New “McDonald” became eleventh in Lviv and 114th in Ukraine. It is located in the Ryasne neighborhood on the northwestern outskirts of the city. Due to its proximity to the main road and the presence of a large parking lot, the facility is convenient for travelers to visit, and there are eight charging stations for electric car owners.
The area of the restaurant exceeds 500 square meters, there are 126 seats in the hall, and another 104 on the terrace. With its opening in Lviv, the company created more than 60 new jobs.
We remind you that the first McDonald’s restaurant in Ukraine was opened on May 24, 1997 in Kyiv. Currently, 114 chain establishments are operating in the country, 15 more remain closed for security reasons.
