Burger McDo's operations have various environmental impacts at each stage from obtaining raw materials to disposal. Obtaining beef globally contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and habitat loss. Processing and packaging the beef patties also uses substantial water, energy and chemicals. Finally, disposing of food waste and packaging in landfills further harms the environment. To mitigate these impacts, Burger McDo could explore more sustainable raw material sources, improve efficiency, choose more recyclable materials, and reduce overall waste.

Cows digest food via enteric fermentation, they produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in their burps.
