[FR] Which reusable food packaging can help you promote your eco-responsible image?

Every day you work hard to provide your customers with food products that delight their taste buds. But running a food business is not just about preparing your food: you also have to implement a packaging strategy that meets current standards and makes your business stand out.

Why not look into reusable food packaging to show your commitment to environmental responsibility while keeping your products safe?

Discover here a selection of the most trendy ecological food packaging of the moment.

Reusable food packaging: what’s the point?

The trend towards reusable food packaging is gradually making its way into the various food trades, and for good reason: it is in line with the environment, consumer expectations and current legislation.

On the one hand, you can’t miss the progress of legislation on food packaging and its environmental impact. European and French laws are proliferating, such as the SUP(Single Use Plastics) Directive, which bans the use of single-use plastic cutlery, plates, straws and sticks, and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) decree, which aims for a 100% reduction in ‘unnecessary’ single-use plastic packaging by the end of 2025.

Moreover, since 2023, companies offering fast-food services may no longer use single-use tableware when meals are served on site, and must therefore use reusable tableware.

What’s more, your customers are increasingly demanding packaging solutions that are part of a circular economy approach. Well aware of the impact of petro-sourced plastic packaging on the planet and of over-packaging, they like to be able to reuse the packaging in which their products are delivered or presented to them.

This is how reusable food packaging is becoming more popular:

Caterers, who can reuse their packaging from one customer to another while benefiting from an eco-responsible image.
Companies offering home delivery, take-away sales or doggy bags, which provide their customers with packaging that they can reuse in their daily lives.

This will motivate you to pack your foodstuffs in packaging that puts an end to single use!
