For the love of nature - reusable crockery for take-away offers

Since 1 September 2021, guests and employees have been able to take their food to the park, the office or home in a reusable, high-quality alternative to plastic tableware. The restaurant at Bethesda Hospital is thus part of a nationwide network of 1,500 catering establishments that are using this ecological option to reduce plastic waste and CO2 emissions.

And this is how sustainability works with reusable crockery

select reCIRCLE BOX and put together the menu. Please ask at the till for the lid.
Enjoy your meal and return the reCIRCLE BOX with lid to a reCIRCLE partner or keep it and refill it again and again.
If the reCIRCLE BOX cannot be returned on the same day, it must be washed briefly.
A reCIRCLE BOX costs CHF 10. On return, the amount will be refunded or exchanged for a fresh reCIRCLE BOX.

The added value of reusable packaging

The plates, bowls, cups and lids can be washed and reused hundreds of times.
By using reusable containers, you save on plastic waste and CO2.
There is also automatically less food waste because you can take the leftovers home in practical and hygienic packaging.
Using reusable containers instead of disposable crockery once a week already saves 1.5 kg of plastic per year.
The deposit of CHF 10 for plates and salad bowls and CHF 5 for coffee cups will be paid out in cash or replaced with new crockery.
The crockery can be exchanged in all participating reCIRCLE restaurants. You can find a list of restaurants here.

Do you have any questions? Our restaurant staff will be happy to answer them.
