Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, having food delivered at one’s doorstep has become a new normal for many in Singapore. It is no secret that food delivery services make our life very much more convenient during this period of time since we no longer have to leave our homes.

However, there is a price for this new convenience and it comes in the form of excessive waste. A recent study found that the increase of plastic waste collected throughout the ‘Circuit Breaker’ period alone was equivalent to the weight of four fully-loaded Boeing 747 aircraft!

In hopes to reduce the amount of plastic waste used in food deliveries, Foodpanda has partnered with barePack to provide more sustainable packing alternatives. It’s the world’s first reusable service for zero-waste reusable container subscription system, and Foodpanda hopes to bring customers their food in reusable containers.
