Have questions?
We have answers.
Reusable packaging is still new to the restaurant scene, so it’s natural to have questions. We’ve put together a list of common questions about the Rotake Reuseable system, hygiene standards and how to participate.
Why is Aarhus testing reusable takeaway packaging?
Aarhus Municipality recognizes its role in curbing litter and preserving a clean cityscape. Addressing the rising demand for a unified reusable packaging system among businesses and residents, the municipality has launched an experiment. This initiative aims to simplify eco-conscious choices for companies and Aarhusianers.
Why is this system the first of its kind in the world?
The Rotake Reuseable system stands out as the world’s pioneering open urban space solution for reusable takeaway packaging. This innovative system transcends boundaries, offering compatibility across restaurants, cafés, and all food takeaway services, catering to both Aarhus citizens and visitors alike.
What are the cups made of?
The cups are made from PP, known as polypropylene. This durable plastic is designed for prolonged use and can withstand repeated washing. Once the cups reach the end of their usable life or cannot be reused for other reasons, the material can be recycled.
A new take on takeaways
It’s time to say goodbye to packaging waste. The Rotake Reuseable packaging system brings together sustainability and convenience for everyone involved – from individuals (like you!) and cafes to waste management and the environment.
Sustainability in the city of smiles
The City of Aarhus aims to eliminate single-use cups and create a new circular system in which takeaway packaging is collected, washed, and reused.
