Deliveroo unveils £2.5m fund to subsidise “environmentally friendly” packs

According to Deliveroo, the scheme will provide Deliveroo partners with a 50% subsidy on the cost of what it terms “environmentally friendly” packaging. This includes any item that is home-compostable or made from recyclable paper, cardboard, or recycled plastic.

Paul Bedford, director of policy and sustainability at Deliveroo said: “Sustainable food packaging is really important to Deliveroo and this multi million-pound investment will play a crucial role in helping our partners make greener choices. By subsidising greener packaging, we’re underlining our commitment to reimagining packaging, reducing waste, and lowering our carbon footprint.”
