ogether with the catering provider

Ara mark, we are working on measures which will radically limit the use of

single-use plastic in catering.

The gradual introduction of environmentally-friendly boxes, well suited for

cold as well as warm meals, is a great

step towards the reduction of used plastic. The boxes are made of starch, sugar

cane, sowens and other rapidly decomposing materials which do not represent

a significant environmental burden. Even

though environmentally-friendly boxes

are more expensive and require more energy during production, they have a significant positive impact on nature and

sustainability in general. That is why we

are proud to be among the modern global

leaders who have already adopted strategies to seek sustainable alternatives.

We hope that you will support us in

this endeavour and join us in improving

our environment. You have already seen

various communications on our premises calling for the reduction of plastic consumption. We would like to reiterate our

call to fight plastic waste, together.

PRACTICAL

AS WELL AS

UNNECESSARY

The originally practical material has now become

a catastrophe and the most unnecessary type

of waste. Plastics found applications in nearly

all areas of industry as well as in households.

However, the large quantity of produced plastics

in combination with a lack of recycling now

lead to negative impacts on the planet. In order

to protect the environment, we need to first

and foremost reduce the amount of produced

plastic waste and try to recycle or otherwise use

plastic instead of throwing it away. Reducing the

amount of waste production is in the interest of

ŠKODA AUTO, and our four-part section titled

“The Trap of Plastic” will regularly inform you

about the measures introduced by Aramark, the

disposal of plastic in our automotive company

and how the use of plastic packaging is being

reduced in Production and Logistics.
