First Reusable Packaging Pilot Programme in Hong Kong
/ Content redirected from official webpage /
We are taking action to combat the single-use plastic waste crisis by initiating Hong Kong’s first ever Reusable Food Packaging Pilot in 2022! By offering a closed loop takeaway experience to our customers, we hope to drive the food delivery industry towards a greener business model. This pilot was launched in September 2022 in partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong.
As part of the pilot, foodpanda customers can order reusable containers at specific restaurant partners located in Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, and Causeway Bay. They simply have to select food items from the restaurants’ ‘Reusable Packaging’ menu category and the items will be packaged in reusable containers for delivery or self-pick up.
After finishing their meal, customers have to empty all leftover food from their containers and return them to our collection machines. Customers will be able to retrieve the initial deposit they paid via Octopus on the machine, as well as a $15 foodpanda e-voucher for every container returned. Alternatively, customers can also ask foodpanda couriers to return used containers for them instead.
