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.
