Healthy food delivery chain Camile Thai have become the first restaurant chain in Europe to launch 100% compostable packaging for their takeaway food.  The company’s move will not only greatly reduce the amount of waste generated by single-use packaging, but will also help reduce the impact on the environment.  With Camile’s newest innovation, diners will now be able to throw their biodegradable packaging straight into the compost bin without washing.  While the chain are investing 25% more on their packaging costs in order to reduce the amount of plastics used, they have ensured this comes at no extra cost to the customer.
