Rethinking food takeaway packaging
Tackling the vast amounts of plastic packaging used in food deliveries by using a returnable system.
Online food delivery and takeaway is a market worth over $53 billion a year globally. With Covid-19, thousands of restaurants in the UK had tried to adapt to new revenue models to ensure the survival of their business.
The idea behind this new concept is that customers would pay a small fee for the packaging upon ordering the food, which would be reimbursed on their next delivery, when the containers are returned to the delivery service provider. The containers would then be washed by the next restaurant/food provider before being used again - as it is created with bioplastic materials from cacao industry and universal packaging to ensure it is transferable between restaurants.
