Uber Eats Australia encouraging restaurants to ditch plastic for sustainable packaging

Uber Eats Australia and Planet Ark are encouraging restaurants to ditch plastic for more sustainable packaging. To engage businesses and consumers on the importance of sustainable packaging, Uber Eats has created a range of incentives and educational materials in collaboration with Planet Ark. Uber Eats Australia General Manager Bec Nyst says Uber Eats has a goal to “support restraint partners to transition to reusable, recyclable and compostable packaging for restaurant orders.” “We want to work with Planet Ark to help provide information both upstream to restaurant partners who really want to adopt sustainable packaging and also downstream to consumers who are often confused about exactly how to dispose of their packaging once they finish their meal.” The aim of the partnership is to educate both restaurant partners and customers on what products are good for the environment, and how they can be recycled, reused, or thrown in the compost bin. In partnership with Uber.
