Linked to a global increasing population, is the increasing production, consumption and disposal of plastics. Plastic production has grown from 1.5 million tonnes per annum in 1950 to 359 million tonnes in 2018, yet only 9% of this is recycled (Plastics Europe, 2019). While plastic packaging has revolutionised the way in which we store and consume food, there are many negative impacts associated with the growing amount of plastic packaging on our planet.In response, CauliBox has developed a unique solution to address the 'food-to-go' single-use plastic packaging challenge: a digitally-enabled reusable lunchbox scheme that rewards sustainable behaviours. CauliBox's aim is to disrupt the urban food industry, helping customers and vendors transition to reusable boxes by making the processes of sourcing, returning, collecting and washing lunch boxes, convenient and reusable. In this project, CauliBox will partner with Sustainable Ventures and Westminster City Council to deliver a trial of its reusable lunch box scheme in within a cluster of food vendors in London. As a result, CauliBox directly addresses both the SSPPP and UK Plastics Pact to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the environment by 2025\.

与全球人口增长相关的是塑料的生产、消费和处置的增加。塑料产量从1950年的每年150万吨增长到2018年的3.59亿吨，但其中只有9%被回收(塑料欧洲，2019年)。虽然塑料包装彻底改变了我们储存和消费食物的方式，但随着塑料包装数量的不断增加，也带来了许多负面影响。对此，CauliBox开发了一种独特的解决方案，以应对一次性使用塑料包装的挑战：一种数字化的可重复使用的午餐盒计划，旨在奖励可持续的行为。CauliBox的目标是颠覆城市食品行业，通过使餐盒的采购、退货、收集和清洗过程变得方便和可重复使用，帮助客户和供应商过渡到可重复使用的盒子。在这个项目中，CauliBox将与可持续风险投资公司和威斯敏斯特市议会合作，在伦敦的一群食品供应商中提供其可重复使用的午餐盒计划的试验。因此，CauliBox直接针对SSPPP和英国塑料公约，在2025年前减少进入环境的塑料垃圾数量。
