Reduce Plastics Waste
In Hong Kong, up to 855,000 tonnes of plastic waste ends up in landfill every year – enough to fill 18 RMS Titanics. To tackle this growing environmental challenge, we at foodpanda are committed to reducing our plastics waste and using more sustainable packaging materials. Find out how we are doing this below!
Milestones
“Choose to Reuse” Reusable Packaging Pilot
We partnered with World Wide Fund for Nature-Hong Kong to pioneer Hong Kong’s first reusable packaging pilot, allowing our users to request their orders be packaged in reusable containers.
Sustainable Packaging Program
We are offering plant-based packaging to our restaurant partners at highly competitive prices to help tackle single-use plastic packaging. As of August 2022 we have deployed more than 105,000 units.
Default Cutlery Opt-out Toggle
In June 2019, we launched our 'plastic-free takeaway, use reusable cutlery' campaign. All customers are automatically opted out of receiving plastic cutlery with their order. This campaign became a permanent feature and in 2020 alone, we managed to save more than 30 million sets of cutlery as a result.
Partnership with Baguio for Door2Door Recycling
Don’t know what to do with the plastic containers and bottles left over from deliveries? Our new partnership with Baguio means you can now book to have them collected from your doorstep and recycled for free. Since Jan 2021 more than 10,000 plastic containers and 42,000 plastic bottles have been recycled by foodpanda customers through this partnership.
