Avocado show - Amsterdam
A growing request for alternatives to single-use plastic
Since the ban of single-use plastic on July 1st 2023, the Avocado show saw a rise in requests for sustainable alternatives. That’s why the Amsterdam-based company started to introduce the Mepal Pro reusable food bowls for takeaway. Customers can order the bowl with their takeaway food. This way they choose a more sustainable alternative to single-use plastic.
Sustainable Team Work
The Avocado Show is now offering Mepal Pro in its restaurants and pick-up locations in Europe. Customers now always have the choice of a more sustainable alternative. At the beginning of the collaboration, we quickly realized that it was a great match between the Avocado Show and Mepal. Since the ban of single-use plastic, we could see a rise in the request for alternatives. The Avocado Show is a frontrunner and we can see other players in the food industry are following our example. With Mepal Pro, we help to lower the use of single-use plastic, and offer a nice alternative.
Personalisation
The Avocado Show has chosen to personalize the Mepal Pro bowls with its logo. All products of the Mepal Pro collection can be personalized with a logo, a picture, or a message. This way, each company can fit the Mepal Pro collection to their company style.

Mepal Pro is part of Mepal. The products of Mepal are known for their timeless design and longevity. Through that, the products help the customers to make a more sustainable choice. Whether it’s keeping food or leftovers fresh to stop food waste, or drinking bottles to minimize single-use plastic. The Mepal Pro bowls are produced in the Netherlands and put together by workers in social workshops. Most Mepal products are made of 100% recyclable plastic.
Bumerang Takeaway - Barcelona
A Sustainable Leap Forward
In the fast-paced world of takeaway, Bumerang has established itself as a reusable packaging service operator in the social catering sector and on the streets of cities like Barcelona, Madrid or Palma de Mallorca. Their goal is to bring more awareness of the ecological impact of single-use plastics and packaging. This is where Mepal Pro stepped in as a welcome partner.
A Perfect Fit for Every Dish
Bumerang's decision to embrace the Mepal Pro line was based on two critical factors. Firstly, the unique design of these containers, with their circular shape and specific height, offered a versatile solution for various dishes, ranging from salads to soups, main courses, and desserts. Secondly, the lightweight and stackable nature of these containers had a significant impact on large-scale shipments, resulting in substantial reductions in shipping costs.
Durability That Stands the Test of Time
These containers have proven to be incredibly resilient. Even after being used over a hundred times, the material remains virtually unscathed, a testament to the quality of Mepal Pro. The prolonged use of these containers further reinforces their sustainability.
From Kitchen to Consumer
The feedback from Bumerang's customers has been overwhelmingly positive. They even received requests from their customers to offer the containers for direct purchase. The culinary journey has come full circle, allowing not only Bumerang but also their customers to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. With Mepal Pro as their partner, Bumerang Takeaway SL strengthen their approach, taking a step towards a more sustainable culinary journey without compromising on quality or functionality.
Zero Impack - Milan
The Sustainable Success Story
In March 2021, Irene and Giulio founded Zero Impack in Milan, driven by a shared passion for environmental awareness, sustainability, and the desire to create a future that aligns with their dreams. This dream is getting closer with the help of Mepal Pro.

Enhancing Credibility in the Sustainability Movement
Both food suppliers and end-users are highly enthusiastic about Mepal Pro containers. Food suppliers simply love them – the design and texture are quite impressive. It's a whole new experience for them, instantly boosting Zero Impack's credibility in the sustainability movement.
End-users also adore the Mepal Pro line. Not only does it enhance their dining experience, but it also makes them feel good about contributing to a greener planet. No waste, just enjoyment of a responsible lunch. It's a complete upgrade to their lunchtime routine.
Together Toward a Sustainable Future
Zero Impack has chosen Mepal Pro as their primary reusable product. They are the pioneers of a zero-waste food delivery platform, complete with a tracking system. This success is largely thanks to Mepal. In less than nine months, they have saved over 50,000 single-use packages, equivalent to avoiding 10 tons of CO2 emissions.
