Reusable Wares (coffee cups)

Reusable Packaging

Hygiene is key factor in offering food in reusable packaging

As a result of the EU Directive on single-use- plastics (SUP) individual EU member states are changing their packaging laws and regulations, leading to foodservice operators needing to offer reusable wares as an alternative to single-use wares. With the implementation of new regulations, correct cleaning and disinfection are critical factors for ensuring food safety and maintaining the lifespan of the reusable food and beverage containers. This is where Ecolab brings extensive know-how and expertise to the table to help you successfully implement solutions to ensure clean and safe reusables in your operation.
