Circular and sustainable establishments
Sustainability and the circular economy are the foundation of the new business model: they allow establishments not only to reduce costs and environmental impact, but also to build an ethical reputation that attracts the consumers of the future and ensures their long-term viability on a planet of finite resources.

Why is it important to be a circular and sustainable establishment?
Economic Viability and Cost Reduction
By applying circular principles (reusing packaging, repairing equipment, selling in bulk or refilling), the establishment minimizes the waste generated, thus reducing costly waste management fees.
Competitive Advantage and Brand Reputation
Customers value and are more loyal to brands that demonstrate a genuine commitment to the environment and society. Sustainability becomes a key brand differentiator .
Regulatory Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Many governments are implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws and stricter regulations on plastics and waste. Being circular allows businesses to prepare for or even anticipate these regulations.

FAQS
Hotels, restaurants and cafes face their own challenges in adapting their businesses to market dynamics, legislation and customer preferences.
Sustainability is increasingly becoming a central focus of any business activity, not only due to growing customer demands but also the need to comply with current regulations, which affect aspects such as energy efficiency, water use, waste, and food waste, among others.
A takeaway service that generates less waste or menu options with a smaller ecological footprint are some of the demands to be met regardless of the size of your business.
Among the most important sustainability-related aspects, we highlight food safety, compliance with various regulations, and traceability throughout the entire value chain. Also crucial is the reduction of food waste, which has a significant impact on costs.
