FRIENDLY – Recycled PET Tableware, APS Eco-Friendly Range
FRIENDLY: tableware that tells its own story
Most professional tableware says nothing about where it comes from: it is white, black or coloured, and that is all the guest perceives. FRIENDLY changes this. Its raw material is collected plastic bottles, recycled into PET and turned into virtually unbreakable plates, bowls and trays. It is tableware with a story, and that story is a commercial argument a venue can display on its menu or website.
For a restaurant that has built a CSR charter, or wants to, FRIENDLY offers something rare in professional tableware: concrete, tangible proof the guest can touch and understand in one sentence.
Resistance built for intensive use
Beyond the environmental argument, FRIENDLY delivers on the ground: the material is virtually unbreakable, reducing breakage in the kitchen and dining room, and it is dishwasher-safe up to 55°C. It is tableware designed for real professional use, not just for image: it must survive daily service as much as the marketing argument.
Who is it for?
- Restaurants with a displayed CSR charter
- Environmentally committed school catering
- Sustainable food trucks
- Eco-friendly hotels
FRIENDLY is not made for fine dining, where plastic material, even recycled and virtuous, is still perceived as lesser than porcelain. Nor does it suit premium venues without a coherent CSR narrative: without that story, the argument loses its force.
The range's strength
100% recycled and recyclable: the only tableware argument that goes straight onto the restaurant's menu.
