Unsere Vision: Einweg abschaffen! Wir wollen ein nachhaltiges und zirkul&auml;res &Ouml;kosystem für eine Welt ohne Einwegverpackungen schaffen. Als Marktf&uuml;hrer bieten wir von RECUP das gr&ouml;&szlig;te Mehrwegsystem f&uuml;r die Gastronomie in Deutschland an und revolutionieren damit die Getr&auml;nke-to-go- und Take-away-Welt. Gastronomiebetriebe k&ouml;nnen mit den RECUP-Mehrwegbechern und den REBOWL-Mehrwegschalen Kosten sparen, Einwegm&uuml;ll vermeiden, Vorreiter in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit werden und sind au&szlig;erdem perfekt ausgestattet f&uuml;r die Mehrwegangebotspflicht. Deutschland verbraucht 13 Milliarden Einwegverpackungen pro Jahr &ndash; Das wollen wir &auml;ndern und bieten Gastronomiebetrieben und deren Kundschaft eine einfache, kosteng&uuml;nstige und attraktive Alternative zu Einwegverpackungen. Das RECUP/REBOWL-Mehrwegsystem ist mit dem Blauen Engel der Bundesregierung ausgezeichnet. Datenschutzerkl&auml;rung f&uuml;r LinkedIn: https://recup.de/datenschutzerklaerung-linkedin/
