Environmental Action (2021)

The document analyses the environmental impact of reCIRCLE, a Swiss company offering reusable packaging systems for takeaway food. It compares the life cycle environmental performance of reCIRCLE’s reusable containers to single-use packaging alternatives commonly used in Switzerland. The study evaluates various factors, such as material production, usage frequency, washing, and recycling, to assess the overall carbon footprint and waste generation. The findings suggest that reCIRCLE’s reusable containers significantly reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to disposable options, especially when reused multiple times. The report highlights the potential environmental benefits of adopting reusable packaging systems and supports policies promoting their wider use to mitigate the negative impacts of single-use packaging.
