Citeo Pro – working to reduce the impact of food service packaging on the environment
As a subsidiary of CITEO group, a long-established household packaging and graphic papers EPR operator, Citeo Pro is currently the only approved eco-organisation for the new EPR for food service packaging, which came into force on 15 March 2024.
Beyond being a regulatory obligation, EPR is an opportunity for the companies concerned to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging by pushing the boundaries of eco-design, reuse and recycling alongside distributors and food service professionals, as well as waste management operators and public authorities.
Citeo Pro’s commitments:
Provide companies with support to boost innovation, eco-design and reduction in food service packaging
Switch to reuse on a national scale thanks to the work currently underway on a pooling system for food packaging
Develop the collection, sorting and recycling of food service packaging in synergy with the system currently in place for household packaging and graphic papers
Train and support food service professionals in best sorting practices
And last but not least, make sure you meet your regulatory obligations!
