In view of the imminent obligation to reuse containers in times of rising prices, an offer from Greenbox promises relief for many catering businesses: they can now purchase reusable containers in instalments via a special advantage purchase option.
Many catering establishments are currently in preparation for the upcoming reusable packaging obligation. However, any acquisition costs for reusable solutions are currently being eclipsed by inflation and rising energy, food and labour costs. According to a survey by the Dehoga Federal Association, more than half of catering businesses fear for their existence.
Greenbox GmbH offers a special advantage purchase option so that the initial procurement of reusable containers does not entail any additional financial burden. This enables the purchase of reusable products in instalments. This means that catering businesses can adapt to reusable packaging in compliance with the law without having to make large investments.
The initial investment required for the procurement of reusable containers can thus be spread over a year. In view of the upcoming obligation to use reusable containers and ongoing additional costs, catering businesses remain financially flexible and can offer reusable packaging as an alternative to disposable packaging from 1 January 2023 despite economic challenges. A fixed monthly price is set for the duration of the instalment purchase, which can be selected from three simple price categories - with no hidden costs.
Compared to reusable systems, which are charged according to the use of the reusable containers, the advantage purchase option of Greenbox to a constant monthly amount. At the end of the payment period, the reusable products from Greenbox then become the full property of the catering establishments.
„An advantage purchase option with a fixed price is particularly important to us. When charging a fee per use, the cost of reusable containers increases with repeated use. Not so with us: the more often caterers use our reusable containers, the lower their costs become compared to disposable packaging and reusable containers with a usage fee.“
