  • "The idea that you can consume as much as you want as long as you throw it in the right bin is not right. The only solution to the waste problem is not to litter," he said.

  • "If you're happy to get food in a compostable box from a restaurant because it seems more environmentally friendly, you're a victim of greenwashing."

  • "We have a lot of regular customers who have also told us about the huge packaging economy - where do I put all these paper boxes at home? I heat it in the oven or put it in the bin, but that's a huge expense and every single box costs something, 50 or 30 cents each time. This creates a huge amount of waste," Villau said, explaining why Hiiu Pub started to look at circular economy solutions.
