Reusable Packaging
Hygiene is a key factor in offering food in reusable packaging
It’s estimated that less than 1% of single-use drink cups get recycled, even if put in a recyclable wate bin. This is because they are made from mixed materials, making them more difficult to recycle, so end up in landfill.
As governments, businesses and consumers are becoming more and more conscious about planet health, there is a constant want and need for implementing more sustainable practices. One example of this is the EU Directive on single-use- plastics (SUP), where individual EU member states are changing their packaging laws and regulations, leading to foodservice operators needing to offer reusable wares as an alternative to single-use wares. With the implementation of new regulations, correct cleaning and disinfection are critical factors for ensuring food safety and maintaining the lifespan of the reusable food and beverage containers.
