I hate when takeaways come with extra guilt (like: I'm already being too lazy to cook, do you have to give me polystyrene boxes and plastic #5 containers to feel guilty about as well?) Sometimes even traditional old fish and chips spring surprise plastic on you.
So I want to make list of good takeaway places that result in no rubbish to landfill:
- Aro Valley fish'n'chip shop
- Pizza Pomodoro
- Hell Pizza
- Kapai
- Rice Bowl Burger Bar, Newtown [at least if you order fish & chips]
- most kebab places [at least if you order falafel]
Takeaway places with potential for plastic-free options:
- Offbeat Originals, Left Bank [if you get a burger, not a milkshake]
- Burger King [if you get a burger and/or fries and no drink]
- McDonalds [if you get a burger and/or fries and no drink]
- Nando's [if you get a burger, no drink and refuse the extra sauces in plastic packing]
- Burger Fuel [but watch out for the aioli with the fries—it comes in a wee plastic tub]
- Subway [if you can avoid the plastic bag they automatically put your paper-wrapped sandwich in]
And here's a list of takeaways to avoid because they have plastic elements:
- Chok Chai Thai takeaway in Newtown, much as I love the food
- Higher Taste, Old Bank Arcade
- Wishbone [most containers are nonrecyclable #5 plastic]
- most Chinese takeaways [though I'd love to know exceptions]
- most Indian takeaways [though ditto]
- most takeaway sushi [ditto again]
Help! Most of the ones I can think of are plastic-y. Any advances?
