Obligatory reusable packaging in takeaway services would be more burdensome for the environment than continuing to use single-use paper-based packaging.

Key Points: 
  • Obligatory reusable packaging in takeaway services would be more burdensome for the environment than continuing to use single-use paper-based packaging.
  • This is the conclusion of a new meta-study assessment, commissioned by the European Paper Packaging Alliance and carried out by renowned engineering consultancy, Ramboll.
  • Antonio DAmato, Vice President of the European Paper Packaging Alliance (EPPA), also highlighted:
    Once again, rigorous scientific data analysis shows how the current emphasis on making reusable packaging mandatory merely hinders Europes ability to achieve vital environmental goals.
  • Water saving is an important part of the Ramboll study data, and reusable packaging significantly increases freshwater consumption.
