Catering disruptor Oh My Lunch wants to make workplace lunch more sustainable and has long looked for a partnership that would enable them to deliver high quality lunches from their catering partners, completely waste free.
The company has been already a pioneer in helping companies reduce food waste, by enabling the employees to opt in for and select their lunch if they are coming to the office. The next challenge was to deliver the office lunches with 0 waste – zero food waste, and zero packaging waste.
And now this became a reality thanks to a market innovation from the team at RePlated. By teaming up with reusable system designers RePlated to run an innovative, zero waste, team lunch pilot in Sydney, Oh My Lunch wants to help companies reduce waste and improve team dynamics as workplaces begin their return to work following the lockdowns in 2021.
This exciting opportunity is only possible due to the vision of the first office partner- sustainable workplace trailblazers Concentrix Tigerspike. Concentrix Tigerspike is committed to making their workplace zero waste and their team lunches delivered by Oh My Lunch are a great place to start.
Concentrix Tigerspike GM for Australia, David Sutherland says “‘Food has always been a huge part of the culture at Concentrix Tigerspike. It is great to see the teams coming back together post lockdown to eat together and share in their week. We have partnered with Oh My Lunch for the last year and are excited to join the pilot with RePlated and to help promote a zero-waste initiative in the local area and continue to pursue our goal to be a zero-waste business.”
Askhat Zhumayev, Director of Oh My Lunch Australia says “Our vision from the start was to help companies eliminate waste while delivering amazing office lunch experience. While our technology tackled the food waste issue, we had the challenge of reducing packaging waste. Hence, when Concentrix Tigerspike and Replated approached us about the pilot, we were happy to get onboard and make this pilot a reality. We applaud Concentrix Tigerspike for pioneering zero-waste office lunches and setting the benchmark for the others. I am sure more companies will follow Concentrix Tigerspike and join this wonderful initiative. ”
Naomi Tarszisz, Founder & CEO of RePlated says “We’ve signed up some incredibly forward thinking workplaces to reduce waste at work, but this partnership enables us to take reusables at lunch to a much wider audience. We’re already talking about extending the partnership to other cities after it’s up and running. We’re very grateful to Tigerspike for their vision and commitment to the environment, the participating food vendors for their willingness to reduce waste and provide reusables as an option for their customers”
The pilot is looking for more lunch loving teams to kick things off in early 2022.
