Tags - Sustainable Breakfast Takeaway Packaging

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

But still, many people skip breakfast in favour of a few extra minutes in bed in the mornings - or an early start to the day, (but usually it’s because we all love to lie in!)

So in the takeaway industry, this presents a great opportunity to take advantage of people’s busy day-to-day schedules and offer them some great breakfast on-the-go.

But how can you get their day off to a good start?

Well, the right breakfast takeaway packaging will help them, no matter what it is they order.

From pastries and coffee to sausage sandwiches and a cuppa, you can serve those customers who are working from home or making their way to the office.

However the real question is: how can you package your breakfast products to offer maximum convenience and still be sustainable?

 

The Importance of Sustainable Takeaway Packaging

In the UK, there are millions of tonnes of packaging waste generated each year.

In fact, takeaway lunches alone account for 11 billion tonnes of waste annually, most of which is not recycled, is not recyclable or biodegradable.

With these kinds of numbers, it’s not surprising that businesses today are under pressure to provide more eco-friendly packaging options to customers, regardless of the type of food or drink they serve.

As we mentioned earlier, people live extremely busy lives, and as they go about their day, they may be less inclined to find recycling bins - especially if they’re in a hurry.

As such, this highlights the importance of sustainable takeaway packaging, specifically biodegradable packaging.

Not only is it good for the environment, it also makes it more convenient for your customers to dispose of it as it can be thrown away with the general waste.

Next, we take a look at how you can use breakfast takeaway packaging effectively.

 

How to Effectively Use Breakfast Takeaway Packaging

When it comes to breakfast, there is such a huge range of products available, like cereal, sandwiches, pastries and porridge.

And each of these need different types of packaging.

For businesses, the challenge is to try and reduce costs, whilst still providing effective, sustainable packaging for customers.

Here’s how you can do this:

 

Eco Friendly Packaging for Hot Drinks

Did you know, as a nation we drink around 95 million cups of coffee a day?

If you thought that was impressive, the UK collectively consumes around 165 million cups of tea a day too.

Yes, we all very clearly enjoy a hot drink and many of us cannot go the day without these caffeinated beverages to get help get the day started.

With this high demand, it’s essential that customers are provided with eco-friendly options for their takeaway drinks.

Simply, the way to do this is by using biodegradable, disposable coffee cups, which are available in various sizes and can be used for all kinds of different hot drinks.

Moreover, if you add compostable lids, customers can feel confident that their drink will not spill everywhere, without worrying that the lid will harm the environment.

 

Eco Friendly Packaging for Food

The next challenge lies with your food items.

Whether your customers enjoy a croissant or the full english cob, they must be supplied with the right packaging to keep food fresh, safe from contamination and free from being damaged whilst on the move.

By stepping away from plastic, it reduces environmental and health effects.

So, paper, glass and tin are the traditional giants of recycling as these materials can be remade into new products without much hassle, giving hope for the future of planet earth.
