FAQ
I would like to offer KamuDishes in my restaurant. How should I proceed?
You can book a meeting with our Parnership Sales Manager here or send a message using the contact form. You can think about which dishes you would like to use and when would be a suitable time to start. The service is immediately available after the onboarding!
I use disposable dishes and I can't give them up completely. Why should I use KamuDishes in my restaurant?
No worries! For now, most of our partners offer disposable take away containers alongside reusable containers. Although we would like to get rid of disposable waste completely, we understand that sometimes you have to take small steps towards reuse. When you offer KamuDishes in your restaurant, you offer your customers an added value and an option (for which the demand is increasing).
There are unusable dishes in my restaurant, what should I do?
When the restaurant has accumulated >10 unusable dishes, you can contact support@kamupak.com and we will replace the unusable dishes with new ones.
Do I need to offer all variations of the KamuDish in my restaurant?
You can choose to offer one or more option in your restaurant. Please note that dishes that the restaurant does not serve can also be returned to the restaurant (i.e. different sizes of KamuBoxes).
Is a KamuDish really a more ecological alternative compared to disposable biodegradable or cardboard containers?
When comparing reusable packaging to single-use packaging, the environmental impact caused by a single use is essential. The production of reusable packaging consumes more raw materials and energy, but after just a few cycles the emissions per use are lower compared to a disposable container. A reusable container is a more ecological option, the longer it lasts in use. A KamuDish can be used an average of 100 times and is a more ecological option after only six uses!
Why are KamuDishes made of plastic?
Plastic is durable, easily shaped, inexpensive, reusable, recyclable and in every way an excellent material when it is used responsibly, taking into account the entire life cycle. At the end of their life cycle, KamuDishes will be recycled and the material is reused in making other products.
What happens to a KamuDish at the end of its life?
KamuDishes are made of various polypropylene plastics. The qualities of the materials are known, so they can be returned as clean materials to the manufacturer to be used as raw material for new products. This is of great importance in terms of the impacts of KamuDishe's life cycle, as the carbon footprint of recycled polypropylene is even more than 70% smaller compared to virgin raw materials.
How is hygiene taken into consideration?
We pay special attention to the fact that the dishes passing through our return system are washed and sanitized in such a way that they meet hygiene regulations. We remove from use such dishes that may cause a hygiene risk. We also carry out hygiene testing to ensure the hygiene level.
Can the packaging release any chemicals?
The container is food approved, which means that no more than the limit values of chemicals may be released from it. The dishes used do not contain BPA compounds.
