Description

We are consuming single-use packages at an exhausting rate, adding to the global plastic waste problem. Annually, we use about 1 billion single-use take-way packages, and the home delivery sector is expected to triple by 2030. This report presents an easy access solution for the return and washing of food take-away packages, utilizing existing infrastructure and services. The solution presents a system with re-usable take-away food packages with a deposit. Using VISIR2 technology and AI for quality checking, and combining this with optimized logistics and centralized washing, the potential positive environmental impact of re-use packages can be captured and scaled.
