We Germans are known for our love of renewable energy, energy saving lamps, and recycling. I am allowed to say that, as I am one of “them” :) Our office in Berlin had another idea to reduce waste: Lunch boxes (“Brotdose” being one possible translation of that).
Most of us like to leave the office for lunch break. Once in a while we also pick up food from nearby stores, to eat it in our kitchen in the office. That means you will get a doggy bag to transport your food, mostly a box box made of styrofoam, or plastic. “ewwwww”
