There has been a lot of interest around the subject of food packaging in recent months, especially regarding plastics and their disposal. This interest has come about due to a combination of environmentally conscious businesses and concerned consumers voicing their opinions about the damage being done to the environment.
The sheer amount of unnecessary packaging being used in some instances has sparked a lot of anger from members of the public, especially with regards to fresh fruit and vegetables in a supermarket environment. But this can also be something to watch out for in your takeaway.
As a proprietor, it’s your responsibility to consider the best way to package your food items so that they are appealing to your customers, are fit for purpose and can be easily recycled or re-used after use. Some takeaways and coffee shops are offering discounts to those that bring their own reusable cups in for example.
