Subway - Retail in Action

Subway's ambition is to reduce environmental impact and preserve our planet’s health.

Subway is taking a fresh look at how they make an impact on the world around us. It’s their responsibility and a key part of how they’re building a better Subway.

Meeting today’s needs with tomorrow’s solutions

From their global supply chain operations to the local communities where their franchisees operate, they are working hard to reduce their impact on the environment.

Packaging Sustainability

Packaging plays an important role in protecting food quality and enhancing the guest experience. At the same time, they recognize the environmental impacts of material choices and packaging waste.

By designing their packaging with reusability, recyclability and end-of-life as top considerations alongside functionality and food safety, they aim to reduce natural resource consumption and the overall waste stream. They do this through product design, material selection and by supporting increased recovery.

As Subway works to do its part to move towards a more circular economy and reduce packaging waste, they have set the following goals related to packaging in Subway restaurants:

  • Strive to design 100% of our packaging to be recyclable, compostable or biodegradable.
  • Increase recycled material content in their paper and plastic packaging.
  • In partnership with their franchisees and their supply chain cooperatives, work to increase container recycling rates both in-restaurant and for take-away/delivery.
