Soon the end of plastic for home deliveries? The government is giving delivery platforms until October to present a "zero waste strategy". Invited Tuesday to the Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, the bosses of the main companies in the sector, including the American Uber Eats, the British Deliveroo, the French Frichti or the Sushi Shop restaurant brand, were invited to "get out of the all disposable. " One of the avenues envisaged during the meeting is to use returnable containers.
"The challenge is to do something that is easy"
"The deposit is a serious avenue that we will study," said the owner of Sushi Shop on Tuesday. This type of device already exists on small local delivery networks and works well, explains Laura Chatel, of the association Zero Waste. "The customer will be able to return the dish to the deliveryman the next time, or bring it back into the network of partner restaurants. We can also imagine other models, where we would be reimbursed online. The challenge is to do something that is easy. "

"Disposable packaging is something that costs money"
Laura Chatel is formal: change is possible at constant costs, even at lower costs. "Disposable packaging is something that costs money," she says. You must of course count with the initial investment, the purchase of glass or metal containers.
For Secretary of State Brune Poirson, this is the moment or never to launch this project: "It is a rapidly expanding economic sector, it is therefore necessary today to register in the sustainability and sustainability of their business model the questions of fight against plastic pollution. "
