The sustainability versus convenience dilemma
Today’s consumers are demanding more from hospitality experiences than ever before. They covet the convenience of on-the-go beverages wherever and whenever they desire – but they also want to look after the planet by reducing plastic waste and switching to environmentally sustainable materials.
Convenience and sustainability are often viewed in opposition – a dynamic that can prove a headache for operators balancing a quality on-the-go beverage service with the desire to eliminate single-use plastic waste.
But what if cafés and caterers could have the best of both worlds – a product that looks just like a regular cup lid, but caters to the demands of the environmentally conscious consumer while delivering superior beverage enjoyment?
