Is there a charge for packaging of takeaway orders?

In response to the Environmental Protection Department’s full implementation of the ‘Enhanced Shopping Bag Charging Scheme,’ plastic bag charge exemptions have been tightened starting from December 31, 2022. Only food items without packaging, not wholly contained in any packaging, or takeaway items in non-airtight packaging will qualify for one free plastic shopping bag per transaction.

For customers who order a Breakfast Platter or Twisty Pasta meal set with a drink, we will provide one plastic bag for free, placing both the food and the drink in the same bag. If customers request an extra bag for the drink, there will be a charge of HK$1. If the order comes in a paper bag and customers request a separate bag for the drink, we will provide one plastic bag for free upon request.

At McDonald’s, we encourage everyone to take a step forward in environmental protection by reducing the use of plastic.
