🚲🛵The most sustainable pizza delivery in the world! 🛵🚲 REFLECTION ⏪ 2023 PART #4 When looking at the growing reuse industry world-wide, reusable pick-up options are gaining more popularity and usages, thanks to companies like Vytal | The reuse system, RECUP, Bold Reuse. What about reusable packaging for delivery? Are we making any progress there? Unfortunately, due to overly complicated app and deposit integrations (generating tokens, copy pasting through various apps, etc.) into third party delivery platforms such as Just Eat Takeaway.com and Uber this important take-away segment hasn’t gained momentum yet. Considering that delivery makes up roughly 40% of pizza sales (source: Pizza Today ), using PIZZycle would be a #gamechanger and a lighthouse project not only for us, but for the whole reuse industry. So why not integrate the option to chose reusable for delivery as simple as possible (hello conversion optimisation)? WE DID IT, together with our partner Dodo Brands we conducted a 21-week long pilot in 2023 in #Dubai, offering PIZZycle for delivery-orders in the most #convenient way possible and let us tell you, it was very successful and insightful! 💥 HERE’S HOW IT WORKED: ✅ Ordering Process: Only one click/touch to chose PIZZycle at the checkout ✅ No additional costs for the customers ✅ No other incentivations were needed THE RESULTS: 11 % of all customers ordered their pizza in a PIZZycle over a period of 147 days. The best part, not only does this share of reusable orders continues until today, Dodo pizza is now expanding this project with us throughout the world. Oh and btw. data shows that customers who chose PIZZycle are ordering again faster. Seems like a great revenue driver, if you ask us 😉 👉 Wolt Uber Just Eat Takeaway.com Katharina Hauke Delivery Hero DoorDash Deliveroo Glovo Postmates by Uber Gopuff Zomato WE NEED TO TALK, you guys are a crucial part of making reuse mainstream and we can show you how!💥 👉Also, pizza restaurants with own delivery, get in touch with Filip Raketic or Marlene Bruch if you’re interested in increasing your sustainability performance and revenue! 🍕 #reuse #deliverysystem #reusesystem #dodopizza #pizzachain #delivery #lieferando #wolt #deliveroo #doordash #foodservice #horeca #foodentrepreneur #pizza #pizzachain

💥Groundbreaking news for the reuse movement 💥 Yesterday, the European Parliament and the European Council finally reached an agreement on a new regulation on packaging and packaging waste. This is a huge milestone for the reuse movement! What does this mean to us and our customers ? ♻️ Single-use plastic packaging for food and beverages within the HORECA sector will be #banned completely  ♻️ Regardless of the material, 10% of take-away foods and drinks must be offered in reusables by 2030 ♻️ Restaurants are required to offer their customers the possibility of bringing their own containers at no additional costs ♻️ Restriction on #PFAS in packaging (which are proven to be found in single-use pizza boxes and reported by Tagesschau BUND NbcNews Food Packaging Forum ) Now is the time to get ready and prepare your business for future-proof reusable packaging - get in touch with us: info@pizzycle.com We are looking forward for the publication of the official results of the trilogue procedure by the European Union in the coming days and weeks. #reuse #reusable #europeanparliament #EUregulations  #recycling #packagingwaste #innovation #EU #circulareconomy #pizzabox #packagingdesign #sustainablepackaging New ERA - New European Reuse Alliance Zero Waste Europe, Mehrwegverband Deutschland e.V.

PIZZA BOXES MADE FROM PLASTIC? REFLECTION ⏪ 2023 PART #3 One of the most asked questions we receive is if our reusable pizza box PIZZycle made from plastic is actually more sustainable than a single-use pizza box made from cardboard. It sounds really controversial, but the short answer is: YES! 🤝 As with most reusable packaging, and as proven by countless studies from organisations such as Food Packaging Forum, Zero Waste Europe, Rethink Plastic Alliance, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, ProjectTogether, EINFACH MEHRWEG, reusable packaging almost always outperforms its single-use counterpart when it comes to environmental sustainability. Until 2023, there has never been any research on reusable pizza boxes (most likely, because we invented this product category). Of course, we needed to change that: Together with a research team at DTU - Technical University of Denmark and kleen hub | TAP&REUSE™⚡, we conducted the world’s first comprehensive #LifeCycleAnalysis on our reusable pizza box in 2023. Here’s what we found out: 🌱 After ONLY 11 USAGES, PIZZycle becomes more sustainable than its single-use alternative. Keep in mind, one PIZZycle can be used HUNDREDS of times. 🌿 Our reusable pizza box has LOWER IMPACT in the majority of categories, such as global warming potential (CO2), marine ecotoxicity and more. ♻️ Recyclability at End-of-Life: Even if used cardboard pizza boxes were recyclable, the sourcing, production and transportation of these single-use alternatives are still causing significant environmental damages. If you want to download the full study, or if you have any additional questions, please comment below or send us an email to: info@pizzycle.com. Thanks once again to our research group at DTU - Technical University of Denmark: Nele Granse, Noah Jurek, Samuel Schuler, Javier Rodriguez, Irene Sánchez Clemente and their teacher: Olivier Jolliet and kleen hub | TAP&REUSE™⚡ hub for organising! #REFLECTIONSERIES #SustainablePackaging #PIZZycle #EcoFriendlyInnovation #LifeCycleAnalysis #LCA #circulardesign #zerowaste #reusable #reuseablepackaging #mehrweg #plastic #reusabletakeaway

REFLECTION ⏪ 2023 PART #2 - THE FUTURE OF REUSABLE PACKAGING AND E-COMMERCE It’s no secret that since we founded PIZZycle in 2022, we have been overwhelmed with an incredible amount of interest for our product. Monday-Sunday, from very early in the morning to very late at night, pizza restaurants, festivals, reuse systems, etc. from all over the world have been reaching out to us to become part of the #ReusablePizzaBoxRevolution . To be honest, we anticipated pre-launch somehow that the interest for reusable pizza box from professionals would be great, but we have never envisioned how immens the B2C interest for a reusable pizza box would be. Here, we have identified two main use-cases: 🍕Picking up pizza at pizzerias who don’t yet offer PIZZycle 🍕Storage/transportation box for their home-made pizza creations We quickly had to adapt our strategy and find the best way to offer PIZZycle B2C as well. So within four months, we were able to design and develop two new websites including online-shops and a brand-new look (yes, we like cowboy boots 🤠) that we launched in February of 2023. Of course it was a big #challenge for us, starting from designing everything from scratch, to figuring out how to communicate our product and its plentiful use-cases in a way that’s understandable for everyone. Here’s a glimpse of some special features you can find on our websites: 👉Bold branding that has never been seen before like this in reusables to make it appetising and fun, as it should be! 👉A clear distinction between our target groups (B2B and B2C) to lead them correctly (which is why we have two shop pages) 👉Allowing smaller B2B orders to be handled through our B2B shop, avoiding long and boring customer-supplier processes Fast forward to February 2024, we are STILL over the moon getting orders from places we have only dreamed to visit. From Alaska and Hawaii, to people travelling to Europe, ordering their PIZZycle to their hotels to take them back home. Seeing enthusiastic users is what we do all of this for🌍💚. Before starting our e-commerce journey, we didn’t work with many B2B and B2C distributors, but since our launch, we have established more and more partnerships that enable more people to hear about us. 👉 If you are interested in working with us, feel free to reach out! We are excited to hear from you! #REFLECTIONSERIES #ecommerce #startup #pizzycle #pizzabox #sustainableecommerce #reusable #reuse #mehrweg 

REFLECTION ⏪ 2023 PART #1 We can’t believe January is already over and we still haven’t been able to share our thoughts and achievements of 2023 (we should definitely work on our time management⏱️🫡)! As we all know, reusable packaging has to become mainstream to help us solve some of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. Finally, reusable cups are slowly but steadily getting into mainstream acceptance thanks to companies like Vytal | Das Mehrwegsystem, DeliverZero, kleen hub | TAP&REUSE™⚡RECUP, r.World and many more. But what about more complex reusable products and reuse environments like pizza boxes? I mean, the pizza market has a great mix of #pickup and #delivery, an immense variety of pizza types and is notoriously known for the importance of a crispy and hot product. Under those circumstances can a reusable pizza box be feasible at all? And in the end, cardboard pizza boxes are recyclable, aren’t they? That’s why we start our #REFLECTIONSERIES and take you with us to demonstrate how we have not only invented the worlds first reusable pizza box in 2020 but also worked with partners like Dodopizza, Del Arte, Kotipizza Group Oy to revolutionise and change the pizza industry forever. But first, can we take a moment to appreciate that our home town Stadt Offenbach has printed our faces on busses, posters and magazines in 2023 all over town #SoulOFHessen? Mom and dad, we’re famous now! Don’t miss out, follow us to get a unique glimpse into the #reuserevolution inside the #pizza industry! ♻️🍕 #pizzycle #pizzacontainer #zerowaste #reusablepackaging #circulareconomy #startup
