Materials Sustainability: Digital Resource Center - McDonald’s case series: polystyrene packaging versus paper wrap

The McDonald’s case series is comprised of three cases, two supporting notes and a video that lay the foundation for an active discussion of a broad range of environmental management issues regarding how to develop partnerships between businesses and environmental groups, how to use life cycle analysis (LCA) for decision making, and how environmental issues impact corporate strategy.

It has been tested with both MBA and Natural Resources students.
