Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap is made with responsibly sourced fibres and does not contain plastic or coating. Made from wood as a renewable resource, it is fully recyclable in existing paper waste streams, supporting the transition to a circular economy.

Customers can order as usual via mobile app or online and pay a $1 fee to add reusable packaging to their order. DeliverZero will send the customers a text message with instructions for returning the reusable containers to a participating store or scheduling a DeliverZero pickup at no extra charge.

This is Uber Eats’ first reuse pilot in the U.S., but it has similar programs globally. Earlier this month, Uber Eats launched a reusable container food delivery program in London with partner Again.

Combined strengths for higher customer satisfaction
