Deliveroo HK is taking steps to reduce food packaging waste generated by its restaurant partners. The delivery giant is investing HK$2 million to incentivize a scheme that will encourage restaurants to use plastic-free packaging for their delivery orders. It comes as the government considers a move to ban single-use plastic tableware. Investment from Deliveroo HK will allow restaurants to buy suitable food containers at a discounted rate, from zero waste company Sustainable. Independent restaurants and small F&B providers will be offered a 50 percent reduction in packing prices. Large chains will receive a 30 percent discount. Both will be applicable for the first six months of the initiative. Deliveroo HK claims to have made sustainability a priority. Its collaboration with Sustainabl. will allow it to promote plastic-free, home-compostable, or recyclable packaging options to restaurant partners.
