Northwest based Burgerville is one of the “greenest” fast food chains in the country, according to the website Greenopia.com.
The site ranks businesses on their commitment to the environment and sustainability. Greenopia gives them a rating ranging from zero to four “green leaves.”
In Greenopia’s just released ratings on fast food, Burgerville scored three leaves, the third highest ranking in the country.
Greenopia praises Burgerville for using locally grown ingredients, and for its recycling program. But it thinks the company could do more to make its buildings greener, and to outline sustainability goals for the future.
The highest rated fast food chain is Le Pain Quotidien, which has several locations in Los Angeles and the East Coast. The highest rated national chain is Chipotle, which earned two leaves.
