[rose amira]

do we need to do the statistic for mcd outlets like what i am doing for KFC?

[alex liew]

jut do the statistics that compare how many fast food chains in malaysia. if you could find the statistics for the waste created by KFC, that would be a solid aid to our stance.

KFC - 507 outlets in Malaysia

McD - 139 outlets in Malaysia

mane2 pon blh je~ :D sng2 buat je 200. haaha

compost is fertilizer rite?

[Mohamad Shahril Majid]

another major issue that we can highlight... 

when food waste is sent to the landfills. it decomposes without oxygen under tonnes of waste. This results in the production of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

by using ImbA bin, we are actually reducing the production of greenhouse gases indirectly, saving the planet.

[Khalida Khalid]

at the landfills, they actually collect the methane gas using some plumbing. but i dont know how did they collect those gas. that's what i've learnt about those anaerobic decomposition of solid waste.

[Mohamad Shahril Majid]

but still its a point la.. we are reducing the amount of waste going to landfills.. and we are saving the planet at the same time, by reducing the amount of methane gas produced.... mmg NOVEL.. hahaha...

[Khalida Khalid]

hahaha~ :D ade jumpe psl cost utk compost tk?

[Mohamad Shahril Majid]

takde org yang beli....... 

[Khalida Khalid]

tkkn tkda org yg nk beli?

Paper

I am informed that McDonalds uses large quantities of paper. Almost 14,000 tonnes of this is stated to be directly derived from bleached wood pulp. For example, the cupstock, mainly used for paper cups, is made from bleached wood pulp, according to Casper van Erp's statement. This consists of 10,147,924 kg, 90% of which comes from Enso Gutzeit in Finland. This is only one example of McDonald's paper use worldwide.

The use of woodpulp has environmental consequences some of which relate to forestry practices and some to the processing of the wood to make paper. Wood processing has chemical consequences, due to the breakdown of substances in the wood and to reagents which facilitate that breakdown. Some of these consequences can be avoided or minimised. For example the use of chlorine and other chlorine chemicals such as chlorine dioxide to bleach the pulp creates toxic and long lasting chemicals known as organochlorines, and eliminating chlorine will avoid creating these.

All wood-pulping processes produce toxic discharges. so the ideal now aimed at is to have a closed process in which there is no effluent and in which the waste after bleaching can be burned and some of the process chemicals recovered. If this waste contains chlorine chemicals, then there will be corrosion problems due to hydrogen chloride. The organochlorines present will produce dioxins when burnt. Thus in order to have a closed process, all chlorine chemicals have to be eliminated.

TRY TAKE A LOOK AT THIS~ :D
