MWS-Box

Say goodbye to single-use packaging for takeaway food.

With MWS-Box, you can borrow sturdy, reusable boxes for your food at participating restaurants and delivery services—without any extra charge at the checkout. Simply show the QR code, take the box, and return it later. With each return, you'll see how much CO₂, water, and resources you've already saved.

WHY MWS-BOX?

• Less waste—a real contribution to combating the flood of single-use items
• No cash deposit—the box is managed digitally via the app
• Easier than deposit systems in supermarkets
• Your personal sustainability statistics: CO₂ saved, water saved, trees saved
• Return anywhere: at any participating partner

HOW IT WORKS

1. Register with your email address or via Apple/Google—an address is required, as a small fee will be automatically collected via SEPA direct debit in the rare event of damage or non-return.

2. Go to the restaurant and order your food to go.

3. Show your personal QR code in the app.

4. Take your food in an MWS box.

5. Return the box to a participating restaurant within 8 days — done.

YOUR IMPACT — VISIBLE

The app shows you in real time:
