Recup wins Lieferando as a partner

According to a media report, the start-up for recyclable boxes and cups will be cooperating with the delivery service in future.

The start-up Recup has grown in recent months and has now gained a new partner. Lieferando, which claims to be Germany's largest food delivery service, will use the start-up's reusable food boxes for its deliveries in future. This was reported by Wirtschaftswoche. Initially, test deliveries from 30 restaurants in Berlin are planned, but the collaboration may be expanded in the future.

Katharina Hauke, Head of Lieferando Germany, sees this as a big step: "We want to establish a reusable system that is as user-friendly and practical as possible for everyone involved. This is crucial for acceptance by restaurateurs and consumers in order to establish a system solution that is suitable for the masses."

The idea behind Recup is to establish a deposit system for food boxes and drinking cups. The start-up, founded in 2016, has developed reusable boxes and reusable cups for this purpose, although the drinking cups, for coffee for example, were much earlier in the range and are also more widespread.
