Berlin, 27 July 2021 - Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero"), the world's leading local delivery platform, today announces the launch of its global Sustainable Packaging Program. The program aims to provide 100% plant-based and perfluoroalkoxy-alkanes (PFAS) free alternatives to plastic packaging for local restaurants across the globe. PFAS (commonly known as "forever chemicals") are man-made compounds commonly used in food packaging to provide liquid and grease resistance. However, they are environmental pollutants as they cannot be broken down by nature and have also been linked to adverse human health effects[1]. Restaurants in Austria, Chile, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Qatar, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates can soon benefit from high-quality sustainable packaging from Delivery Hero at affordable pricing - even compared to traditionally cheaper plastic options. In 2019, Delivery Hero invested in BIO-LUTIONS and supported the development of its innovative packaging solution. By incorporating their products into its business model, Delivery Hero sets an example for the industry to invest in companies that can positively impact their supply chain. Jeffrey Oatham, Director of CSR & Sustainability at Delivery Hero, said: "At Delivery Hero, we are always aiming higher and want to actively reduce our impact on the environment. By making sustainable packaging accessible and economically feasible in our markets across four continents, we are creating an effective and scalable way to reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions produced by the delivery industry."
