Making food and beverage packaging waste a thing of the past

“At Vytal, we’re revolutionizing the way people think about takeout and food packaging. We aim to eliminate single-use packaging waste by offering a smart, sustainable alternative: a digital reusable packaging system for takeout food. Our app-based service allows customers to easily borrow and return high-quality, reusable food containers without the hassle of deposits. By partnering with restaurants, cafes, food vendors, and event organizers, we aim to create a convenient, circular economy that reduces environmental impact and saves costs for both businesses and consumers. We’ve also extended our solution to the event industry, transforming how large-scale events manage food packaging. By replacing disposable containers with our reusable alternatives, events can drastically reduce waste and operate more sustainably.”

“You can find Vytal’s reusable containers at a growing network of partner restaurants, cafes, canteens, and event venues across Germany, Austria, and other expanding regions in Europe. Our mobile app allows you to locate participating food vendors near you, borrow containers when you pick up your meal, and return them at any of our partner locations. We’ve also integrated our solution into major events and festivals, allowing organizers and attendees to enjoy a waste-free experience. As we continue to grow, we’re expanding our reach to more cities and regions, making it easier for eco-conscious customers and event-goers to enjoy their meals without generating waste.”

“EIT Food has been instrumental in supporting Vytal’s growth. Through its vast network and innovation ecosystem, EIT Food has provided us with access to mentorship, industry expertise, and funding opportunities that have accelerated our development. The connections we’ve made through EIT Food have allowed us to refine our business model, expand our partnerships, and continue scaling our impact across Europe. Their commitment to fostering sustainable food systems aligns perfectly with Vytal’s mission to reduce waste, promote a circular economy in food consumption, and revolutionize both everyday takeout and large-scale events.”
