Food delivery in Italy is constantly increasing: thanks to the pandemic, more and more citizens have resorted to take-away food. This makes the need to use packaging that is easy to recycle more pressing. A need that involves the entire chain: merchants that through the adoption of recyclable packs can be carriers of values such as sustainability and recyclability.
On the occasion of World Environment Day, Glovo, multi-category home delivery platform, in partnership with Corepla (National Consortium for the Collection, Recycling and Recovery of Plastic Packaging), Comieco (National Consortium for the Recovery and Recycling of Cellulosic Packaging), Coreve (National Consortium for the collection, recycling and recovery of glass packaging waste) and CIAL (National Consortium for Aluminium Packaging) announces the launch of the Environmental Protocol for Recycling, with the aim of raising awareness of all the actors involved in the supply chain of delivery - from commercial operators to the final customer - on the proper disposal of the materials that make up an order.
With the separate collection made by millions of Italian citizens and the daily work that the National Consortia carry out with the municipalities and companies delegated to the management of urban waste, in the last year in Italy was started to recycle 71% of the packaging used. A result that places our country among the best in Europe.
The Protocol provides for the creation of a dedicated web page within the Glovo Store, a virtual store made available to the commercial partners of the platform, where it can be purchased the packaging necessary for delivery and take-away services. Within the web page, will be provided useful advice and good practices for the proper disposal of packaging processed by the Consortia in reference to the different materials.At a later stage will apply a QR code on the bags Glovo, that will allow customers to easily and quickly access the web page and related information.
