Eco packaging – a trend that will save the world

Nowadays, there is much talk of ecology and ecological solutions. Eco products and eco services are being widely promoted. Ecological packaging, recycled boxes, biodegradable packaging are available on the market… Even if it is just a kind of fashion, it is worth promoting and implementing the current trends. In the face of unfavorable climate conditions and growing environmental pollution, any action aimed at protecting the environment is simply necessary.

Eco-friendly food packaging or how to serve takeaway food and protect the environment

As takeaway food orders are becoming more and more popular, the amount of packaging used also constantly increases, and so does the amount of rubbish. Disposable packaging are a really big part of municipal waste and tones of them end up in landfill every day. We asked the owner of one of the restaurants we work with for his thoughts on this:

“How can we – restaurateurs – counteract this situation? It is obvious that we are keen to maintain the takeaway ordering trend. It is in our interest. So what can, or should, we do to reduce the amount of waste? Introduce eco-friendly packaging. Despite using more packaging, we can protect the environment.”

ZERO tolerance to plastic packaging

The European Parliament has been urging the Community to reduce the usage of single-use plastic items. The important role of recycling has also been emphasized. At a time of crisis connected with the overuse of plastics, our task is to reduce its usage and decline to use all the plastic catering packaging including cutlery and drinking straws.

Ecological paper packaging better than plastic packaging

When serving take-away meals you are forced to choose what to pack the ordered dish in. What packaging, cutlery, cups for drinks to use? Paper packaging protects the transported dish as effectively as plastic, but it is much safer – both for the environment and for us, the users. Microparticles of plastic end up in the bodies of animals, birds and… humans. In addition, it takes up to 1000 years for plastic packaging to decompose! Paper packaging, however, needs just a few weeks.

“Do you serve food in eco packaging?”

There is a growing awareness of the negative impact of plastics on the environment. Numerous environmental campaigns have contributed to this. The perception of subject matter is changing. Is it possible that the kind of packaging may influence on the customer’s choice? Here’s what those working in the catering industry said:

“Yes, it is true that our customers also judge us through the prism of the packaging we use to serve the food. It is becoming more and more common that when placing an order, a customer asks if they can choose their food to be packaged in biodegradable or eco boxes.”

“We treat our packaging as our business card. By using eco friendly food packaging we show our customers that we are not indifferent to the welfare of the Earth. We act in accordance with the ecological spirit and we want to boast about it.”
