Reusable cups and mugs will be free of charge and require no deposit, however plastic and cardboard packaging will still be available to passengers should they need it.
Michael Peterson of Deutsche Bahn has said the company is driving forward its green transformation in onboard catering to reduce plastic and paper waste being eco friendly.
The move also lines up with a new Supply Chain Law taking effort from January in Germany, attempting to limit the impact of medium and large companies on the environmnet.
To be specific the Supply Chain Act passed in June 2021 by the German parliament, incorporating social responsibility as well as account of particular environmental risks.
From 2023 restaurants and cafes will need to be more environmentally friendly, taking into account the impact on the environment such disposable packaging has.
They will need to offer a free of charge reusable packaging options to customers, but disposable packaging is not outlawed so can still be used on request.
German train’s eco friendly vegan meal and carbon m=neutrality with renewable power
As part of its drive to reduce its environmental impact, Deutsche Bahn says that more than 50% of its dishes on trains have been serving vegan or vegetarian menus since March 2022.
Sustainability is at the forefront of Deutsche Bahn’s core brand messaging, with the rail operator’s green tagline signposting travellers to specified climate protection goals the firm has already outlined.
Also Deutsche Bahn by 2030 will have halved the amount of CO2 emissions produced. It’s stated online that Deutsche Bahn already recycle more than 95% of the raw materials used.

And the firm insists that it must become carbon neutral as a business by 2040 at the least. To achieve this, the company is utilising an approach with three critical instruments: The shift to 100% renewable power, the end of diesel and the start of the heat transition.
In August 2022, rail analysts indicated that short distance train journey in Germany had increased by almost half after the innovative new 9 euro(= £7.50) ticket that is “unlimited train travel pass” was introduced, which was welcomed very much by citizens.
Due to the beneficial pass, Germans drive a car even much less than usual enjoying economical aide from the firm. It relieved German government burden to prepare for fossil fuels as well as worked on greener environment.
