What's Happening?
FOH Worldwide, led by Founder and CEO Simone Mayer, is pioneering a shift in the foodservice industry towards sustainability with its new product line, Onda, made from re.WARE material. This innovative material is crafted from recycled PET, such as water bottles, and is fully recyclable, marking a significant advancement in circular sustainable manufacturing for tableware. The Onda collection includes plates, bowls, and ramekins designed to integrate seamlessly with existing tableware, allowing foodservice operators to transition to sustainable options without overhauling their entire setup. The re.WARE material is microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and stain resistant, and it is certified for recycling under the No. 1 recycling code. FOH's commitment to sustainability extends to its manufacturing process, which is designed to minimize carbon footprint by sourcing, molding, and manufacturing in a single facility.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of re.WARE by FOH Worldwide represents a significant step forward in the foodservice industry's move towards sustainability. As consumers increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility, businesses that adopt sustainable practices can enhance their brand reputation and appeal to eco-conscious customers. The competitive pricing of re.WARE makes it accessible for operators looking to make environmentally friendly choices without incurring additional costs. This development not only supports environmental goals but also sets a new standard for the industry, encouraging other companies to innovate and adopt sustainable practices. The ability to customize the tableware further adds value, allowing businesses to maintain their unique brand identity while committing to sustainability.
What's Next?
FOH Worldwide is preparing for a major global rollout of the re.WARE product line in early 2026, supported by a significant global client. This expansion is expected to increase the availability of sustainable tableware solutions across various sectors, including restaurants, hotels, and healthcare institutions. As the demand for sustainable products grows, FOH plans to introduce more collections under the re.WARE material, further solidifying its position as a leader in sustainable tableware. The company's efforts to educate the industry and provide marketing support for operators using re.WARE will likely drive broader adoption and awareness of sustainable practices in the foodservice sector.
