framework and some initial practical solutions is one of our major goals. “Another topic we would like to further explore is paper packaging. After our successful Paper Pouch project, we are now looking into other products we can package in paper. First stop - developing primary paper packaging, for example for rice or pasta. As for the future of packaging, Regenhardt said sustain- ability is a trend that Hello Fresh is also confronted with in the packaging industry. “I therefore see a large move to- wards monomaterial packaging and reusability – both top- ics have been on our agenda for some time. Monomaterial packaging can be recycled quite easily because it consists of a single material that does not have to be separated be- fore disposal. This also makes the correct way of disposal more convenient for our customers. “We are currently working on solutions to convert all our packaging (including transport packaging) to mono-solu- tions. At the same time, the re-useability of our packaging is important for us and our customers. For example, our ice packs can be used to water flowers after delivery. Another innovation by our team is the recyclable HelloFresh box. We are currently testing this in-house development in sev- eral markets, including the Netherlands and Australia. I am already looking forward to developing further sustainable packaging solutions together with my team.”
