Accelerating sustainable packaging solutions
Default cutlery opt-out
The ‘Cutlery Opt Out’ feature has been implemented across all markets since 2019. By default, any consumer is automatically opted out of cutlery unless otherwise preferred, significantly reducing unnecessary single-use plastic waste.
Plastic food packaging RVMs
Grab partnered with KLEAN, F&N, Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation (MRANTI) and Asasrama to deploy 18 AI-driven Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) in Malaysia. These RVMs accept food packaging waste (e.g. containers, lids), on top of the usual PET bottles and cans.
GrabExpress Recycle’s doorstep pickup service
In partnership with Waste4Change, Yayasan Mahija Parahita Nusantara, PT Amandina Bumi Nusantara, and Benih Baik, Grab enables consumers in Indonesia to conveniently recycle used PET bottles through this service.
PlasticPay RVMs
In partnership with PlasticPay, Grab launched RVMs for PET bottle recycling across four locations in Indonesia, offering OVO cash incentives to encourage recycling.
Refillable Milk-on-Tap
To reduce wastage of single-use paper cartons, Jaya Grocer expanded the Farm Fresh refillable milk bottle tap initiative, now available in five outlets nationwide.
