Reusable instead of mountains of waste<\/h1>\n\n

Fast food restaurants, as places of quick consumption, are rarely a role model for sustainable solutions. The French McDonald’s branches no longer conform to this clich\u00e9 – albeit not entirely voluntarily.<\/p>\n\n

Since January 1, 2023, all catering establishments in Germany have been required to offer reusable packaging<\/a>. It demands precisely such solutions for businesses that have more than 80m2<\/sup> of sales space or employ more than 5 people. In addition to the usual disposable solutions in the take-away sector, a reusable alternative must therefore be offered. Containers brought in by customers themselves must also be accepted. In an initial r\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/a> around a year after the introduction of the law, the main criticism was the interest and commitment of consumers. Although some restaurateurs have equipped themselves accordingly, customers still prefer the less environmentally friendly disposable container.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
