Most popular topics:

WHY DOES HESBURGER USE DISPOSABLE DISHES?

Storage and maintenance of dishes and tableware in our restaurants is not possible.

The idea of fast food is that the products are ready for the customer. The packaging protects the product e.g. from drying out and ensures that the product remains hygienic inside the package. Packaging is necessary from the standpoints of food hygiene, smooth eating as well as cleanliness. Often the products are also packaged for take away, in which case packaging is necessary. For example, we only give straws, lids and napkins as needed.

We strive to make good packaging choices, taking into account materials, food hygiene and minimizing waste. It is also important to find out the possibilities of packaging recycling and the ability of waste treatment facilities to accept different materials. Different perspectives need to be taken into account when comparing e.g. the environmental impact of durable and disposable dishes.

WHY HAS HESBURGER SWITCHED TO PAPER STRAWS?

For years, Hesburger has been developing and reducing packaging materials where possible. During 2019, Hesburger switched to using paper straws to reduce the use of plastic. An EU regulation will completely ban the sale of plastic straws in the EU in 2021.

We have been reducing the use of straws since the 1990 by e.g. removing straws from the condiment stations in our restaurants. For some of our products, a straw is still included by default and you can always get a straw from the cashier upon request.

HOW DOES HESBURGER REDUCE PLASTICS?

Over the years, we have reduced and thinned out our packaging many times and replaced plastic with more environmentally friendly materials. For example, during 2019, Hesburger completely gave up plastic straws in Finland and during 2020 in Baltics countries and Bulgaria.

In the food sector, plastics play an essential role in some cases, for example in ensuring preservation and food hygiene and thereby reducing food waste. As packaging is still needed, its recycling is a priority.

It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down. It is important that plastic that already exists is used wisely. Hesburger uses workwear made of a fabric that contains recycled plastic bottles. There are 18 recycled plastic bottles in one collared shirt and 20 in a belt. When the workwear comes to the end of its life-cycle, it is collected. The used work clothes are used as material for outdoor table sets for Hesburger restaurants with a service life of up to 50 years. Hesburger also recycles clear plastic film used in production and transportation.

HOW DO I KNOW IF HESBURGER PRODUCTS ARE SUITABLE FOR MY SPECIAL DIET?

In Hesburger restaurants, all products fried in oil (chicken, soy and vegetable patties, onion rings, nuggets, soy sticks and french fries) can be cooked in the same oil. Hesburger beef patties are cooked on the same grill with pork bacon and chicken fillets are prepared.

We encourage our customers with food allergies and special diets to review product information for our ingredients before placing an order. Product information is subject to change as our ingredients change. Updated product information is always available on our website. For questions about diet and nutrition, we recommend that you contact a health care professional.

By highlighting your special diet or food allergy at the time of ordering, you ensure that our staff knows that your product should be prepared with special care. All products are prepared in the same kitchen facility so the risk of cross-contamination exists and is possible.

Why was my favourite product removed from product selection?

Changes to our product range are always made on a customer-specific basis.
