The TafelBox is a take-away box (made from bioplastic) for catering buffets, in restaurants,.. for guests to take away the left overs from the buffet or their plates. It is a take away that has a social meaning, too as 20 cent from each box are donated to the Austrian foodbanks and hence help foodbanks to perform their daily work. Partners of the TafelBox are the Austrian C&C market "Kastner", the ministry of environment, the WKO (chamber of commerce) Gastronomy and WKO (chamber of commerce) Hotels as well as the initiative "United against waste". Do something good with the TafelBox. It's as easy as this:
  • Take some leftover food in the TafelBox with you!
  • Enjoy the delicious food at home, at work or wherever you are.
  • For every TafelBox used, the "Austrian Tafeln" receive 20 cents. W
  • With 1€ they can take care of 10 people in need with saved food products.
      Important information: You are packing up the leftover food yourself to consume at your earliest convenience, are taking it with you at your own risk and are assuming liability by doing so. The TafelBox is food safe and biologically degradable. Do not heat over 50°C. Not suitable for the microwave. A project initiated by the "Wiener Tafel".
