Company canteens generate enormous amounts of packaging waste every day due to disposable packaging. At the same time, the costs for disposal, purchasing disposable tableware, and internal processes are increasing. Switching to a digital reusable system offers a smart and sustainable solution – both ecologically and economically.
In this article, we will show you 10 specific ways modern canteens can not only reduce waste with deposit-free reusable systems, but also noticeably lower costs.
The costs for disposable packaging are continuously increasing – day after day, guest after guest. With the right reusable solution, costs can be permanently reduced in the future.
Waste is expensive – especially packaging waste. The more disposable items you have, the higher your disposal costs. A Relevo reusable system can significantly reduce packaging waste, which means direct savings in waste disposal, bin capacity, and cleaning.
Disposable packaging must be ordered, stored, refilled and disposed of. Reusable systems relieve internal processes: fewer orders, less warehouse logistics, less staff involvement for disposable items.
Relevo offers a completely deposit-free solution for canteens on request – no cash handling, no deposit slip chaos, no conflicts at the dispensing point. The entire return process runs digitally via app, saving time for staff and guests.
In combination with Relevo outdoor stations and vending machine solutions, the return process can be automated around the clock – without additional staff.
Reusable systems can save CO₂ where it is generated: in production, transport and disposal. Canteens can thus credibly demonstrate how real emission avoidance works in everyday life – a strong signal to employees and sustainability officers.
More and more employees are paying attention to sustainability in the workplace. A reusable system shows: “Our company is serious”. This not only strengthens the image, but also the identification of employees with the canteen.
Many municipalities, cities, and federal states promote the switch to reusable systems with subsidies. By planning strategically, you can secure funding to cover a portion of the investment in vending machines, dishwashing equipment or initial costs.
Sustainability is a competitive advantage – also in the fight for skilled workers. Canteens that work with a digital reusable system like Relevo are perceived by employees, the press and partners asprepared for the future.
The topic of reusable systems is being increasingly driven forward by binding EU requirements. Those who do not offer a solution risk legal consequences. With Relevo, you can implement the requirements completely and practically – without high initial costs or complex modifications.
Conclusion: Reusable systems are worthwhile – for the environment and the business
Switching to a digital, deposit-free reusable system is not a “nice-to-have” for canteens, but a clear economic advantage. Relevo offers the perfect solution to reduce costs in the long term, streamline processes, and make sustainability visible – without complex system changes.
