Responsible Waste Reduction

Containers, boxes, cups, bowls, utensils, packaging, bags, lids, straws, stirrers… Our daily lives, our landfills, and our oceans are filled with single-use plastics. To fight the growing pollution, we propose innovative, sustainable solutions for packaging and recycling.

We identified our single-use plastic items and offer reusable, natural bioplastic alternatives to our clients in 15 countries, representing 70% of our revenue.

Single-use plastic reduction has also been included in our operational protocols to fight COVID-19. This approach prioritizes alternatives to plastic for single-use items, along with strict cleaning processes and sustainable packaging solutions in compliance with local health directives.

In Australia, we have developed a partnership with the anti-food-waste app Yume. We committed to purchasing surplus food that would otherwise be thrown out, significantly reducing our water use and CO2 emissions.

In Södertälje, the environmental impact of AstraZeneca’s restaurant Oazen was reduced by 67% in 2019 thanks to the acceleration program Sparx, a program supported by Sodexo, in partnership with Klimato. Sparx has generated initiatives: personnel training, paying by gram for foods consumed, plastics elimination, sustainable supplies, and optimization of the supply chain.

In India, we replaced nearly 8 million plastic products with their equivalent made from sustainable materials: paper straws, wooden stirrers, silver zippers, wooden cutlery, and aluminum foil wrappers.
