Miklan-Ryza

Miklan-Ryza has been working with McDonald’s Poland for many years, resulting in an innovative closed-loop economy (GOZ) system in place at the chain’s restaurants. The technology developed by McDonald’s and the Torun-based recycler makes it possible to recycle used packaging that ends up in garbage cans at McDonald’s locations in Poland. Cellulose fibers are recovered even from so-called difficult packaging, that is, packaging soiled with food or containing an admixture of plastic. New, wholesome products are created from them – paper towels, toilet paper and beverage trays, which are returned to the restaurant.

The recycler currently processes about 800 tons of used packaging per month.
