Thanks to the initiative of the Canton of Geneva and the cities of Lausanne and Vevey, in partnership with Zerowaste Switzerland, the RE:PAS CHALLENGE pilot project has demonstrated a great enthusiasm for reusable packaging alternatives for takeaway meals and drinks, with the aim of reducing single-use waste and saving CO2e and natural resources.

During the pilot phase, les 45 entreprises et 348 participant.e.s already achieved the following results:

• 482 kg of CO2e saved

• 116 kg of waste avoided

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

• 8’201 kg CO2e économisés, ce qui correspond à environ 30 000 km en voiture à essence 

• 1'971 kg of waste, which corresponds to approximately 461 x 35-litre bin bags

We can't wait for more and more people to jump on the reuse bandwagon. That's why we're delighted to be organising the 2nd RE:PAS CHALLENGE from 7 to 18 October 2024 ! Will we manage to quadruple our savings?
