Compass Group
Kloten
In 2019, the company introduced the "Food Packaging as a Service" solution to tackle single-use packaging waste. By 2023, this deposit-based reusable packaging system had been rolled out across more than 30 locations, significantly reducing their environmental footprint and promoting sustainability. This initiative underscores Compass Group's commitment to eco-friendly practices and sets a strong example for the catering industry, aligning with the growing trend towards circular economies.
Through this initiative, Compass Group will reduce 12 tonnes of packaging waste, eliminate 11,500 waste bags, and cut 40 tonnes of CO2 eq emissions annually, contributing to a significant reduction in environmental impact and promoting sustainability across its operations.
The reCIRCLE concept is simple and is already available in 4 European countries. It replaces the disposable packaging of on-the-go catering with high-quality, washable, microwaveable containers and cups with tight-fitting lids. The products are made of durable and safe plastic and they are recyclable at the end of life - after hundreds of cycles. The combination of the network and the products in a ready-to-use service solution is what makes the concept innovative. It is suitable for gastronomers who want to pack their food and beverage in a modern, sustainable way and for consumers who want to enjoy their food on the go without generating waste. reCIRCLE is a deposit system and the products are returnable and exchangable in all the participating restaurants. The products never lose their value, they can be returned in every state, exept if the lid is missing. This way the material loop is closed and you can enjoy a circular economy product in your every day life !
