Those who order their food from the German delivery service Lieferando may soon receive it in a new biodegradable packaging with an algae coating. It was developed by Lieferando's parent company Just Eat Takeaway.com together with the British start-up Notpla.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lieferando is expanding its range of sustainable packaging to include fully biodegradable boxes with a unique algae coating. These are water and grease repellent, free from chemicals and bioplastics.<\/p>

The eco kraft paper boxes are Lieferando's first packaging that is 100 per cent natural and completely decomposes, the company says. They can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way both in paper waste and in the organic waste bin or compost.<\/p>

Lieferando has already banned single-use plastic from its web shop since 2019 and offers its restaurant partners recyclable alternatives for different dishes.<\/p>

\u201eWe are determined to build a more sustainable future for restaurant food packaging. Reusable systems and the Lieferando Eco kraft paper boxes are part of this strategy. It offers all the benefits of traditional plastic packaging - and saves valuable resources. We have been supporting Notpla in their development since 2018 and are currently working on further solutions,\u201c says Robin Clark, Senior Director Global Partnerships & Sustainability about Just Eat Takeaway.com's partnership and CSR strategy.<\/p>
