Duni Group has introduced its digital reuse system, Relevo, to the Swedish foodservice market in partnership with distributor Carepa.

Relevo, already a system for reusable takeaway packaging in Germany, allows consumers to borrow and return cups and containers via an app. The service requires no deposits or manual tracking and is designed to integrate smoothly into existing operations.

The Swedish launch comes as new regulations tighten requirements on single-use packaging. Since January 2024, businesses providing more than 150 single-use containers per day must offer reusable options. Relevo is intended to help foodservice operators comply with these rules by providing a scalable digital return system.

The Relevo system features a localised app and partner platform to simplify container returns, which Duni Group says is critical for ensuring packaging is reused and waste is reduced.

The move strengthens Duni Group’s position in Sweden’s foodservice sector, where it now offers both reusable and single-use packaging solutions.

Aaron Sperl, chief sales and marketing officer for Relevo, said: "Sweden is an important market for sustainable innovation, and we are excited to bring Relevo's proven reuse system to Swedish foodservice operators. Together with our partner Carepa, we are making reuse possible, simple, and attractive."

Carepa, which supplies consumables to the hospitality, office and retail sectors, is supporting the rollout. Johan Ludvigsson, chief operating officer at Carepa, added: “With Relevo, we can provide a complete solution that gives our customers access to reusable alternatives that are easy to implement. This makes it easier to meet new requirements while contributing to a more sustainable future."
