Bio-based reusable packaging and return systems for take-away food and beverage – step 1

The project ran between November 2021 and August 2022.

The project has shown that comprehensive industry cooperation is required, to replace many of today’s single-use plastic packaging for take away food and beverage with bio-based multi-use packaging. Moreover, the entire industry benefits from return systems, which significantly improves environmental performance compared to today’s system which leads to littering and a large negative carbon footprint. The project hopes to continue to collaborate with new actors in the next step, who can add both knowledge and performance to the future return system.

Participants
