Innovation and research to protect the planet
Reducing the use of virgin plastic and replacing single-use packaging with sustainable, recyclable or recycled materials are two of the main ways to reduce environmental impact.
Experimenting with new compostable materials for cutlery, take-away packaging, glasses and straws means constant research and development and a strong focus on the Food&Beverage industry’s guidelines, especially regarding food safety.
The Autogrill Group introduced, in early 2023, the new Supplier Code of Conduct.
