Here are the latest advancements made in our use-case 3
▶ It is led by Vytal | The reuse system, founded in Germany and today the global operating system for reusables and the software solution for circular economy.
▶ It is about the development of a 3-compartment PBT bowl with a transparent PP lid to be used to serve take-away food in collective catering. 🥡🥤
▶ The creation was carried out in several stages :
- In the first phase of the project, Vytal has gathered opinions from their current restaurant and canteen partners. Most of them were satisfied with the already existing two-compartment bowl but they mentioned that they often need a separate small container for sauces, salads or dips. 🥗 🍛
- Therefore, Vytal decided to design the 3-compartment bowl. 🍱 This way, they will reduce even more #single #use #packaging, since at the moment they do not supply sauce and dip containers. In addition, the processes will be easier for partners, because they only need to process one container instead of several.
- Vytal plans to implement the three compartment bowl in #canteens in Paris, first. The canteen partners are already informed and are planning the implementation.
- It is important to mention that the new container will not substitute the two compartment bowls completely. It will be an addition for meals with three items.
▶ How are the bowls being returned ?
- Usually, end consumers pick up their take-away food at the participating canteens. The food gets wrapped in #reusable #containers upon ordering.
- After consumption, the containers are being #returned by the end consumers. Then, they will be cleaned and are ready for the next cycle 🚿🔃
- The process will be the same with the three compartment bowls. Thus, there will be no changes in processes compared to the already existing bowls!
- We will measure the cycles of the containers along the way.
