Replated: A Step Towards Sustainable Takeaway Solutions
In Australia, takeaway food is a big part of life. But, it comes with a lot of waste. Every day, millions of takeaway meals are served in single-use containers that end up in landfills. Replated is here to change that. We offer a better way to enjoy takeaway meals without harming the environment. Our reusable Mealboxes are designed to replace those wasteful containers. This article will explore how Replated is making a difference and why you should consider joining the movement.
- Reduces waste by replacing single-use containers.
- Made from Certified Ocean Bound Plastic.
- Supports local businesses and communities.
- Encourages sustainable practices in workplaces.
- Contributes to charitable causes through revenue.
The Problem with Single-Use Containers
Single-use containers are everywhere. They are convenient, but they create a huge problem. In Australia, we throw away an estimated 4.5 million takeaway containers every day! This is not just a number; it represents a lot of plastic waste that harms our environment. When these containers end up in landfills, they take years to decompose. Replated aims to tackle this issue head-on by providing a sustainable alternative that can be reused many times.
What Makes Replated Unique?
Replated’s Mealboxes are not just any reusable containers. They are made from the world’s first Certified Ocean Bound Plastic. This means that we are taking plastic that was on its way to the ocean and recycling it into something useful. Our Mealboxes can be washed and reused many times, making them a cost-effective solution for both individuals and businesses. Plus, we take back our Mealboxes at the end of their life cycle, ensuring they are disposed of responsibly.
Building a Sustainable System
At Replated, we believe in creating systems that make it easy for everyone to switch to reusables. We work with food vendors and workplaces to set up flexible systems that eliminate single-use packaging. Whether it’s a BYO system where customers bring their own Mealboxes or a deposit system where they can borrow a Mealbox, we have options that fit different needs. Our goal is to make reusing as simple as possible, so more people can join the movement.
Community and Charitable Impact
Replated is not just about reducing waste; we also care about giving back. We are a BCorp, which means we are committed to social and environmental responsibility. We donate 2% of our revenue to help feed people in need through our charitable partners. By choosing Replated, you are not only making a sustainable choice but also supporting a company that cares about the community.
Join the Reuse Revolution
Switching to reusable Mealboxes is a simple way to make a big impact. Even if just a few people use Replated a couple of times a week, it adds up to a significant reduction in waste. You can calculate the impact your household or workplace can make by using our Mealboxes. Together, we can make single-use containers a thing of the past and create a cleaner, greener future for everyone.
