Ecobox - Mei lang geneissen

Ecobox Luxembourg, doggy bag

One of the particularities of many restaurants in Luxembourg is that they serve very large portions. Don't hesitate to ask for a half-portion for your children - it's a common practice, and some restaurants even offer it straight away.

And if, despite everything, the plates aren't finished, ask for an Ecobox to take the leftovers back to the restaurant! Participating restaurants can be identified by the green Ecobox logo. By paying a 5 euro deposit, you can take your meal or leftovers home in an attractive green box. You can finish it off at home, or the next day at the office. Once cleaned, you can return the Ecobox to a participating restaurant for your 5 euro deposit, or exchange it for a new, professionally-cleaned Ecobox with a new meal.

Say goodbye to food waste and say hello to recycling: used Ecoboxes are returned to the producer and used to produce new ones!
