With over 200 restaurants across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, Zambrero is spreading \u2018Feel Good Mex\u2019 across the globe! The popular Mexican-inspired food franchise is on a mission to donate 1 billion meals by 2025 through its \u2018Plate 4 Plate\u2019 Initiative.<\/p>

Thanks to Compost Connect, Zambrero UK<\/a> is partnering with Zap Waste<\/a> to compost their compostable food packaging and food scraps. Since opening its first UK outlet in June 2021, Zambrero\u2019s Kentish Town store has successfully diverted 1,000+ kilograms of compostable BioPak packaging from landfill.<\/p>

To serve up their iconic burrito bowls, nachos, tacos and quesadillas to hungry patrons, Zambrero uses BioPak\u2019s compostable containers, lids, and wooden cutlery. BioPak\u2019s custom-made sugarcane containers replace the single-use plastic bowls that would typically be used by other Mexican fast-food restaurants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cBioPak and Zambrero have a long-standing relationship in Australia and BioPak has continued to support Zambrero with its expansion in the UK. Zambrero UK\u2019s involvement with Compost Connect was a natural choice to support an initiative that allows our customers to actually compost our compostable BioPak packaging. In a region where consumers take corporate social responsibility very seriously, this is another way Zambrero demonstrates i\u2019s \u2018Feel Good Mex\u2019 commitment to make a real difference.\u201d \u2013 Emily Teh, Chief Executive Officer \u2013 Zambrero UK<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Compost Connect is proud to work with Zambrero in its mission to spread \u2018Feel Good Mex\u2019 across Greater London and throughout the UK. By connecting businesses that produce food waste and compostable packaging, with the organic waste industry, Compost Connect is facilitating the necessary commercial partnerships to build national composting frameworks in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. In doing so, we\u2019re helping to build a truly circular economy \u2014 and a world without food waste.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Zap Waste<\/h2>

Through Compost Connect, Zambrero UK has partnered with Zap Waste. To ensure fast and flexible collections, Zap Waste uses its fleet of electric cargo bikes to zip around the congested streets and narrow side streets of London. Unlike standard petrol-powered waste collection trucks, Zap Waste\u2019s electric bikes produce zero emissions that would otherwise pollute the air and climate.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Zap Waste collects the contents of Zambrero\u2019s front-of-house \u201ccompostables only\u201d bin three times a week. From Kentish Town, Zap Waste transports the used compostables to a Cambridgeshire-based commercial composter run by Envar Composting Ltd, where the contents are transformed into nutrient-rich compost within 12 weeks. Soon, Zap Waste will be collecting compostables from Zambrero\u2019s second store location in Loughton, within the Epping Forest District of Essex.<\/p>

\u201cWe are excited to partner with Compost Connect and offer collection to customers using BioPak and any other certified compostable packaging to ensure this packaging is disposed of responsibly and used to help create rich composting soil. Our easy-to-use collection service makes composting possible for every foodservice business.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

In one year, Zambrero will save 2,400 kgs of compostable waste from landfill<\/h3>

Over the next year, Zambrero\u2019s Kentish Town location is predicted to save 3000 kg of organic waste from entering landfill. Zambrero will continue to work with Zap Waste to compost across its two London-based stores.<\/p>

By composting its food scraps and BioPak packaging, Zambrero is proving that food waste and single-use plastics have no place in the fast-food restaurant industry.
