It is therefore encouraging that the EU is developing strategies to curb the flood of packaging and promote more sustainable concepts. In the summer of 2019, the EU published a directive aimed at reducing the impact of certain plastic products on the environment ((EU) 2019\/904). However, this EU directive does not yet have any legal effect and must first be transposed into national law. The German government has done this in the form of the Single-Use Plastics <strong>Prohibition<\/strong> Ordinance and the Single-Use Plastics <strong>Labelling<\/strong> Ordinance. While the Single-Use Plastics Ordinance bans the use of certain single-use plastic products altogether, the Single-Use Plastics Labelling Ordinance stipulates that certain products must be labelled.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d031535 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d031535\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WHICH PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED?\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b385c3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b385c3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The nationwide ban on single-use plastic includes cotton buds, cutlery, plates, straws, stirrers and balloon sticks made of plastic as well as to-go drinks cups and to-go food packaging made of expanded polystyrene (polystyrene). Starting from July 3, 2021, these single-use items are prohibited from being sold or used throughout Germany.<\/p><p>In addition, products made from oxo-degradable plastic will be completely banned. These are products that break down into microplastic particles through oxidation. If these are disposed of in the environment and not in the yellow garbage can, they remain there for many decades &#8211; similar to disposable plastic bags. There is a risk of confusion here with biodegradable plastic. Although so-called \u201cbioplastics\u201d perform slightly better than their conventional counterparts in terms of sustainability, they are also not a long-term solution to the single-use problem. As oxo-degradable plastic poses major environmental risks, it is to be banned altogether &#8211; regardless of whether it is disposable or reusable.<\/p><p>In addition to this ban, the federal government will require certain plastic products to be labelled in the future\u2014especially relevant to the food service industry are single-use beverage cups.

Even without the new EU regulations, these figures are alarming and call for a change in to-go consumption. Reusable systems offer a possible alternative. These not only go hand in hand with the upcoming single-use regulation from 03.07.2021, but are also the most efficient option from an ecological point of view.<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">In addition, on May 6, 2021, the German parliament passed a law that obliges restaurants with more than 80 square meters of floor space and more than five employees to offer reusable packaging starting <\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\"><b>in 2023<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">.

The digital reusable solution can be easily and risk-free integrated into food service operation without any process interventions. In this way, Relevo combines the convenience of disposable with the sustainability of reusable packaging and enables a modern, urban lifestyle in harmony with the environment. And it comes at a cost lower than that of bioplastics.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a202962 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a202962\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">HOW DOES RELEVO WORK?\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a576b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a576b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Relevo is a digital reusable solution &#8211; reusable crockery can be borrowed and returned deposit-free via an app. Restaurateurs prepare their food and drinks in the sustainable Relevo and then hand them over to their customers. When serving the food, customers scan the individual QR code on the crockery using a free app and initiate a loan process. After a waste-free meal, they have 14 days to return the crockery to any catering partner. To do this, customers scan the posted return code and the loan is complete. The cycle closes when the restaurant washes the dishes and gives them to the next customer.<\/p><p>The major advantage for the restaurant &#8211; thanks to the digital approach, Relevo&#8217;s cost model is completely risk-free. Relevo takes care of pre-financing the trays\/cups and delivers the dishes to the restaurant without any set-up costs. Charges are based on the pay-per-use principle, i.e. costs are only incurred for actual rentals. (20ct per bowl, 10ct per cup) There are no fixed costs or fixed monthly amounts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e58b46d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e58b46d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/relevo.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0249-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From July 3, 2021, the EU single-use plastic ban came into effect, aimed at regulating and restricting the use of certain single-use plastic products.
