The food, beverage and restaurant industry is a market very much driven by tastes, trends and customer demand. As the number of people ordering their food online is rising, so are concerns about sustainability and the impact of food delivery on the environment. The truth is that thousands of tons of plastic are filling the world’s oceans, most of which are generated from the food and beverage industry, therefore, the need for eco-friendly sustainable packaging in the food delivery market is much needed today than ever.
Restaurants that are prepared to go the extra mile with sustainable packaging will not only stand out from their competitors but in fact, a whole new segment of customers is ready to support those food businesses that show concern for the environment. According to research, two out of three customers are more concerned about the waste created by food packaging. Consumers are willing to pay more for products that are committed to the environment, half of which is willing to pay a premium for food sustainable packaging.
Restaurants often include plastic utensils, straws and plastic plates in their deliveries. Most of the customers at home most definitely don’t need all that extra stuff. To meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging, restaurants should consider replacing plastic, Styrofoam and polystyrene packaging with eco-friendly alternatives already available on the market such as biodegradable food packaging, sugarcane pulp plates, biodegradable paper bowls, and wooden cutlery.
If your restaurant is based in India, your best option is to use Ecoware biodegradable products. Ecoware is a leading sustainable packaging manufacturing company with a wide product range.
