Eco-responsible food packaging: essential for takeaway deliveries
With the growing popularity of food delivery apps like Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat, takeaway meal consumption has reached record highs. For restaurant owners, this is a great opportunity—but also comes with increased responsibility in choosing the right food packaging. At Covr, we strongly believe that practicality and sustainability can go hand in hand thanks to eco-friendly packaging. Here’s why and how to incorporate sustainable packaging into your delivery operations on these platforms.
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Packaging for Food Delivery?
Delivery apps like Deliveroo and Uber Eats have transformed how people order food, but they have also significantly increased the use of single-use food packaging. Sadly, much of this packaging ends up in landfills or worse, in the environment.
Eco-friendly packaging provides a solution by offering recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable alternatives that reduce the environmental impact of takeaway food. With consumers increasingly concerned about sustainability, adopting an eco-conscious approach not only meets their expectations but also helps set your restaurant apart.
