2024 Edition Results

Thanks to the initiative of the Canton of Geneva and the City of Lausanne, in partnership with Zero Waste Switzerland and reCircle, the RE:PAS CHALLENGE 2024 showcased a genuine enthusiasm for reusable tableware solutions for take-away meals and drinks.

On the occasion of this new edition of the RE:PAS CHALLENGE, in just 12 days of action, the 70 organizations and 510 participants achieved record results:

  • 647 kg of CO2e saved
  • 144 kg of waste avoided
  • Nearly 10,000 single-use containers saved
 

On an annual basis, the numbers are even more impressive:

  • 16,508 kg of CO2e saved, which is roughly equivalent to 80,000 km driven in a gasoline car 

  • 3,693 kg of waste, which is roughly equivalent to 7,270 trash bags of 35 liters each.

We can’t wait for more and more people to hop on the reusable train. That’s why we are excited to organize the 3rd RE:PAS CHALLENGE from September 22nd to September 28th 2025 ! Will we be able to break this record?
