Head Chef Andreas Reuther and Sebastian Dietrich are impressed in many ways – digital HACCP documentation has resulted in significant time savings. Not only the WKD (German Association for the Health and Medical Care) praises the system, but users also provide positive feedback, as it has been adapted to the clinic's individual requirements and concept. The photo function, for example, has created complete transparency and clarity. The quality of goods receiving and supplier management has also improved significantly.

France's catering industry is undergoing a radical change: Since January 1, 2025, the new EGAlim law prohibits the use of plastic containers for cooking, transporting, heating and serving food in school and university catering as well as in pediatric and maternity wards. Thousands of establishments have had to completely change their approach because the more than one billion meals served each year were previously mostly served in disposable plastic containers. Rieber's stainless steel reusable system "GNauto" is helping the neighboring country to meet the new legal requirements and at the same time overcome the key challenges facing the industry.

With the introduction of the PFAS-free multislide^® DURAPEK^® coating, Rieber is taking an important step towards a more sustainable future. Since April 2024, we have been relying on an innovative, environmentally friendly solution that combines the highest quality, safety and efficiency. Find out more about the advantages of this pioneering technology and how it contributes to a better environment and safer products.

This report compares the CO₂ emissions of reusable GN containers made of stainless steel and Green Steel with conventional plastic disposable packaging. The results show which packaging solutions are more sustainable in the long term and how their environmental impact develops over several usage cycles. The aim is to create a sound basis for decisions on the use of more environmentally friendly packaging in the food and catering sectors.

With this new standard, various information about a physical unit can be made available flexibly via a single link. And this for consumers as well as all partners in the supply chain and retailers.
