Regood: EDEKA introduces a new reusable system
The EDEKA group is taking a further step in terms of waste prevention and is introducing its own reusable system for out-of-home consumption with regoods. Whether at a hot counter, salad bar, or catering business, the reusable cups and bowls can be used anywhere.
Customers can purchase the reusable containers for a deposit at their participating EDEKA or Marktkauf store and return them after use for a refund of the deposit. The reusable containers made in Germany will be available in January 2023.
Regood: a reusable system for everyone
Reusable instead of disposable: This has been the motto of the EDEKA association for a long time. Under the regood brand, EDEKA is now providing the EDEKA retail trade with an environmentally friendly and more sustainable alternative to single-use plastic packaging. At the same time, the association creates a more sustainable shopping experience for customers by implementing its own deposit system and establishing an exclusive solution for out-of-home consumption.
The cups and bowls in different sizes can be used at the hot counter, the salad bar, the bakery, or in the catering area. When developing the regood containers, EDEKA focused primarily on high quality and a more sustainable design.
The durable mugs and bowls made from recyclable material can be used flexibly and are even suitable for the microwave and dishwasher. They will also be certified with the Blue Angel seal, which identifies environmentally friendly products and services.
Simple implementation in practice
The regood process is extremely uncomplicated: for a deposit, depending on whether it is a bowl or mug, EDEKA customers can purchase the containers for their to-go food and drinks directly in the participating EDEKA and Marktkauf markets. After use, the containers can be returned there for reimbursement of the deposit value. Perfectly cleaned by the merchants, they can be used again. In this way, EDEKA wants to help avoid disposable materials, save resources, and thus protect the environment overall.
The remade mugs and bowls are available in the following sizes:
- Mug small, 300 ml
- Mug large, 400 ml
- Small bowl, 600 ml
- Divided bowl: 1,000 ml
- Large bowl, 1,200 ml
- Edeka
- GSN
