By paying a 5-euro deposit, you can take your meal or leftovers home in a pretty green box. You can finish it all at home or the next day at the office. Once cleaned, you can return the Ecobox to a participating restaurant for your €5 deposit back or exchange it for a new, professionally cleaned Ecobox with a fresh meal.

No more food waste and long live recycling: used Ecoboxes are returned to the manufacturer and used to produce new ones!
