The restaurant cleans the used packaging and then reuses it. This article explores how one of the pioneers of this new approach, the German company Vytal, makes the new system work and offer five lessons from its experience.

At the same time, there is a loss of revenue for genuine manufacturers and, therefore, the public exchequer too, said Harjani.
