RingKarp's Stories and Interviews
New packaging law in red and white paper
A packaging law has been adopted that restricts the use of single-use containers. We will explain as simply as possible which changes to take into account. Read especially carefully if you are a caterer, an event organiser or are planning to take part in a café day with your home café.
Flowers for Women's Day? No thanks!
If you have an environmentally-conscious wife at home, surprise her with something other than cut flowers.
Impact Day dared to really change consumption habits
All the possibilities to prevent single-use litter exist today. Whether we do it depends on whether we want to. The Impact Day team wanted to!
Compostable box + earthworms = what happened?
Home compost can be placed in a box labeled “OK Compost Home”. Unfortunately, the boxes often do not have any marking on them, and I have never come across the OK Compost Home mark.
Despite the lack of labelling, some of the boxes really do look like they could compost nicely. There's no other way to know unless you try.
Liisa Aavik: The RingKarp Inspirator
One head chef of a restaurant told me that at first he looked at the strange dog bowls his employees brought them. He lacked faith in the system. But then he saw how 80% of the food started to go in RingKarp containers, completely changed his mind, and is today a proud member of the RingKarp network.

"But it's a cardboard cup! It will decompose!"
You don't see plastic cups at events anymore, because everyone wants to make greener choices. Unfortunately, the hard truth is that if you choose a cardboard cup from the shop because it looks more environmentally friendly, you've fallen a victim of greenwashing.
"We need to lead by example and educate our customers to learn new habits"
Brasserie 11 restaurant joined RingKarp's system in the pilot phase and has been successfully circulating RingKarp reusable containers from the very beginning. We asked the restaurant owner Kati Plaamus and chef Alo Stamm some questions about RingKarp.
