In its central kitchens, the business has reportedly eliminated single-use packaging and is now using reusable containers for food ingredients such as pizza dough, pasta, and rice.  

Since 2021, it has introduced lighter pizza boxes and, from 2022, lighter napkins.

Efforts to optimise the design of the napkins and boxes have resulted in reduced paper usage, according to the company.  

The company has also experimented with transporting bulk goods in recyclable crates, further reducing its packaging use. 

In its ESG report, DPC Dash said: “We look for opportunities to be more sustainable by working with suppliers to reduce our use of packaging and switch to more sustainable materials. Besides, we are dedicated to finding solutions with the lowest environmental impact without compromising the quality of our product.”
