Yogiyo Launches New 'Reusable Container' Category

Eco-Friendly Local Restaurants at a Glance

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Yogiyo announced on the 13th that it will establish a new 'Reusable Container' category within its application and actively promote an eco-friendly delivery culture.

The introduction of the reusable container category aims to address the waste problem caused by the rapid increase in non-face-to-face consumption culture and to spread the use of reusable containers in daily life. This allows Yogiyo customers to easily participate in environmental protection without inconvenience.

By selecting the reusable container category on the first screen of the Yogiyo app, customers can easily find restaurants that deliver food using stainless steel reusable containers instead of conventional plastic containers.

The reusable container service operates through a process where Yogiyo customers simply leave the container at their door after eating, and a specialized company collects it, then goes through a 9-step cleaning and sterilization process before redistributing it.

Currently, about 50 restaurants in the Gangnam area are participating in the pilot operation of reusable container orders, and after the pilot, the service will be gradually expanded to other areas within Seoul.

Kang Shin-bong, CEO of Yogiyo, said, "As the use of disposable containers has recently emerged as a social issue, Yogiyo will continue to make efforts to spread and establish an eco-friendly culture," adding, "As a leading domestic delivery app, Yogiyo will reflect rapidly changing dining trends and diverse consumer needs so that everyone can participate in solving environmental problems and take responsibility."
