Big Wheel Burger didn’t just set out to make burgers—they aimed to change the way we think about fast food. From the start, their mission was clear: combine delicious, accessible food with a commitment to doing right by the planet. Inspired by the question, “What if fast food could be fast, affordable, and environmentally responsible?” they became pioneers in blending flavor with sustainability.

From day one, Big Wheel Burger adopted a closed-loop approach to reduce waste, minimize its carbon footprint, and foster community well-being. It’s the first fast-food restaurant in Canada to achieve carbon neutrality, actively measuring and offsetting emissions through tree planting, renewable energy, and waste management programs.

Greener Operations, Happier Communities

Behind the scenes, Big Wheel Burger is turning heads with its innovative waste-reduction practices. All packaging is compostable, waste is meticulously sorted, and leftover food scraps are diverted into nutrient-rich compost for local gardens. These efforts have dramatically reduced landfill contributions while inspiring their team and community to think differently about waste.

But it doesn’t stop there. Big Wheel’s focus on community impact extends beyond the restaurant doors. From offering livable wages to employees to supporting local charities and initiatives, they view business as a force for good.

More Than a Burger

One standout initiative is the Big Wheel Community Foundation, which channels profits into programs for food security and education. This reflects their belief that great food and strong communities go hand in hand.

For Big Wheel Burger, the “aha” moment wasn’t a single event—it was the realization that every choice, from sourcing ingredients to composting scraps, can spark meaningful change. They’re proof that fast food can be fast, delicious, and part of the solution.
