In Germany the largest railway carrier Deutsche Bahn has announced that from 2023 passengers will be able to order food and drinks in glass or porcelain dishes.
Such an initiative is part of the company's plan to reduce waste, reports European truth.
Deutsche Bahn noted that the reusable tableware is free, does not require a subscription and will be available on demand for all orders in the bistro car. Previously, a similar service was offered only for restaurant cars and seats in first class cars.
The material emphasized that plastic and cardboard cups and cutlery will be available at the request of passengers.
The company also redesigned the menu and now it includes half of the vegan and vegetarian dishes.
Deutsche Bahn plans to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
