The fast food chain hopes to use the Market Drayton restaurant as a blueprint for the rest of its 1,400 UK sites.

A spokesperson for McDonald's said the restaurant was"just one of the many actions we're taking as a business," including its"ambitious sustainability plan to achieve our aim of net zero emissions across our entire UK and Ireland business, and value chain, by 2040".

"They want praise for focusing on 'local procurement' and 'carbon' in their daily operations at a single UK store - when the issue is very clearly methane from the burgers sold at their 39,000 stores around the world," she said. Ms Jacquet said she had"yet to see anything from McDonald's that made a convincing case for how they will achieve net zero - and meanwhile they continue to market and sell hundreds of hamburgers per second".

CDP's Dexter Galvin said:"McDonald's is one of only a small handful of companies currently engaging their suppliers on deforestation through CDP, and their recent B scores for forests show they are taking action when it comes to commodity-driven deforestation".
