CaryOn, Reunion Island reusable and returnable tray service, a été lancé en fin d’année 2020.
This food container aims to offer an alternative to disposable plastic trays that end up in the trash every day. These are reusable glass trays consigned to partner restaurateurs, which therefore serve take-out meals in these boxes instead of the usual plastic trays. At first use, the customer pays the deposit to be served in a reusable CaryOn box. If he wishes, the customer returns his box and collects his deposit in the partner network
At the origin of CaryOn, two women convinced that through the change in consumption habits, a more equitable and environmentally friendly society can be built : Julie, from Petite-Ile, and Antonieta, Mexican. A la Réunion où environ 80 000 barquettes en plastique sont servies chaque jour, one day they decide to buy glass containers to have lunch served at restaurant owners ... After several months of investigating, prospect, find the right containers, study the legislative framework and test the concept, they ended up creating CaryOn, the reusable and returnable tray. Une dizaine de restaurateurs a commencé à tester le produit en 2020. In a month, un millier de barquettes réutilisables avait déjà permis d’éviter l’envoi de plus de 350 kg de déchets de plastiques à l’enfouissement. CaryOn prévoit d’étendre son réseau à 150 restaurateurs d’ici la fin 2021.
