PRODUCTS DEVELOPED FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY<\/h2>\n

The high-quality and durable material of our reCIRCLEs is heat- and frost-resistant, odourless, microwave- and dishwasher-safe without losing quality. Easy cleaning, complete drying, stackability, ventilation, even when stacked – these are just some of the indispensable properties when it comes to reusable packaging. The products can even be recycled after hundreds of uses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1680092548742{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;background-color: #fafafa !important;}” el_class=”reversemobile”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

THE re<\/i>CIRCLE NETWORK<\/h2>\n

reCIRCLE is much more than just a package. It is a movement, a network of catering businesses, such as takeaways, restaurants and canteens. The network makes it easy for you to use reusable packaging. Today, more than 1800 partner businesses in Switzerland and 600 in Europe participate and save more than 60,000 single-use packages per day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4829″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”image250″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1649877853583{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;background-color: #fafafa !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4670″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

SAVING VALUABLE RESOURCES TOGETHER<\/h2>\n

In 2023, the reCIRCLE community saved over 20 million single-use packages. In CO2 terms, that’s 1400 tonnes. And quite incidentally, comfortably with a delicious meal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1680081579906{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;background-color: #fafafa !important;}” el_class=”reversemobile”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
