Pizza Day – a day dedicated to appreciating one of the most-loved foods worldwide, especially in Belgium. In fact, pizzas are so popular here that Takeaway.com processed an average of 13 pizza orders every minute in 2020. Get ready to celebrate all things pizza on February 9th in an eco-conscious way. Here’s how you can protect the planet on Pizza Day.
Avoid food waste
Did you know that 9% of all food purchased by restaurants ends up in the bin, and that 170 tonnes of Co2 are released each year due to food waste? Not only is this harming the environment, but it’s also harming your bottom line.
Prevent food waste this Pizza Day. You can do this by ensuring you use your oldest stock first to avoid throwing away food. While you prepare for more pizza orders, make sure not to overbuy food that you may end up binning. In turn, this will help you save money.
Offer meat-free options
Offer something different with vegan and vegetarian options, which are simply better for the planet. Adding meat-less options to your menu is also a great way to satisfy your hungry customers. As vegan and vegetarian trends grow, 25% of people in Europe are now eating less meat. So, why not offer delicious meat-free toppings, such as vegan cheese, mushroom & oregano, or hot peppers?
Choose plastic alternative packaging
Complete your eco-friendly Pizza Day with kraft material and recyclable packaging and disposables. Get started with discounted pizza boxes, made using recycled paper, in the Takeaway.com Partner Webshop.
