    Eating fast food creates a large amount of waste. We are talking about the packaging in which sandwiches, drinks, chips, etc. are packaged and served to customers. Burger King has recently announced a pilot project to eliminate, at least in part, the problem. The well-known fast food chain intends to experiment with the use of returnable packaging.





    The idea is this: in fast food restaurants, customers can choose to request your own food in returnable packaging. What does it mean? People will get sandwiches, drinks or whatever else they will order in packages that they will then have to bring back. Against this they will be asked to pay a fee as a security deposit at the time of purchase. Obviously, once everything has been returned, the amount will be refunded.

    How will the used containers be treated? The Loop, or the circular packaging service TerraCycle, who will be responsible for cleaning and sterilizing each package and returning it for new uses.

    Burger King in the press release announcing the trial ensures that:

    "Loop's cleaning systems were created to disinfect food containers and cups, which means that everyone will be hygienically clean and safe before each use."

    Burger King will begin experimenting with returnable packaging in 2021, exclusively in some stores in 3 cities: Tokyo (Japan), New York and Portland (USA). If the project is successful, other cities will be added but the customer can still choose whether or not to prefer returnable packaging.

    Joining this program will help Burger King fulfill some of the commitments that the brand has undertaken, first and foremost thegoal to recycle all its packaging by 2025 in Canada and the United States. Until this date, the chain must also acquire 100% of its packaging from recycled, renewable or certified sources.
