We are nominated - 1362 participants from 40 countries applied for the 10th anniversary edition of the Green Product Award. After a review under the aspects of design, innovation & sustainability, the best submissions were nominated. Our reusable system eatTAINABLE is one of the nominees in the packaging category! 

With our new watertight lid featuring an integrated Fresh-Membrane, fresh produce such as pre-cut salads and ready-to-eat products can be optimally stored, transported, and dispensed in the GN container reusable system. The advantages over plastic bags are clear: no packaging waste, significantly extended shelf life, freshness, and quality of the food preserved due to the special Fresh-Membrane allowing perfect exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Additionally, the hygienic stainless steel has antibacterial properties, minimizing germ formation. Furthermore, sensitive and water-containing fresh products in the robust GN system are protected from daylight and physical stress such as pressure and friction. This ensures freshness without plastic, waste, or transferring.

Since February 2024, Stattküche GmbH has been documenting its approximately 20,000 meals daily at its three locations in Münster, Bergkamen, and Lippstadt – simply and digitally using our Rieber CHECK HACCP system. This provides you with the highest level of safety and transparency for your school and daycare catering, both in the Cook & Chill and Cook & Hold processes.

Our new GN container GNauto offers the absolute revolution in terms of destacking and space saving. As the name GNauto suggests, this new container developed by Rieber can now also be destacked and handled automatically by robots. This also saves a lot of time in manual use. As a further elementary benefit, the containers require around 60% less storage space, a huge advantage in many kitchens. With this container innovation, Rieber has created another sustainable milestone - being able to use the Gastronorm reusable system in a scalable and efficient way.

For this purpose, the Reutlingen-based company not only provides its highly technologized flagship kitchen at the urbanharbor canteen 'speisewerk', but also the complete microgreens range.

France is strictly committed to reusable solutions. Starting from January 1, 2025, the EGalim law will come into effect, prohibiting the use of plastic in direct contact with food. This is not a problem for our GN Reusable System, which is made of 100% food-safe stainless steel. To experience and get to know our solutions and products better, 10 representatives from the TREMPLIN reusable project visited us in Reutlingen, along with our French Rieber partner, Enodis. These were exciting days filled with forward-looking insights into the future of reusable food service.

Together with the Pentz company from Essingen, we're declaring war on disposable packaging. Since 1948, this family-run business has specialized in fresh produce such as eggs, fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-cook products. Now run by the fourth generation, Manuel and Maximillian Pentz, who, together with our Rieber reusable system, strive to offer their customers optimal freshness, sustainability, and process optimization. Watch the following video to learn about the benefits the GN reusable system offers both for your production and for your customers.
