Germany's largest airport, Frankfurt Airport, is launching a pilot project with the Recup reusable system - and thus embarking on a journey towards sustainability.
The three-month pilot phase with the reusable system started at the beginning of this month Recup at Frankfurt Airport. The airport operator, Fraport AG, and its catering tenants are thus taking a further step towards to less packaging waste and more sustainability at airports.
„With Recup, we want to test the acceptance of an overarching reusable deposit system. We are very happy that we were able to win over all the tenants of Pier A for the project.“
Daniel Gemander, Senior Key Account Manager Food & Beverage at Fraport AG
Great potential for saving packaging waste at the airport
To Almost 20 test stations of the Schengen pier A- directly behind the security checkpoint, operated by Casualfood, SSP Germany and Autogrill Germany, among others, travellers now have the option of choosing a Recup deposit cup instead of a disposable cup when buying a hot drink to go.
You can then hand this in at one of the participating distribution points (directly at Pier A or at over 11,600 partners throughout Germany) back.
„Our common goal is to offer passengers offer a sustainable alternative to disposable cups, to conserve resources, reduce waste and cut waste disposal costs,“ says Daniel Gemander.
The pilot phase provides crucial insights into the introduction of a reusable system at airports and can serve as a model for further cooperation projects.
„Together with Fraport as a cooperation partner, we can lay an important foundation for reusable systems at airports with this test phase. The demand for drinks and coffee-to-go is high, and so is the potential for reducing packaging waste.“
