Relevo’s reusable tableware is easily accessible with the mobile app.
From single-use to lasting impact
Relevo is reshaping sustainable dining in Germany and beyond. Their reusable packaging system helps restaurants and delivery platforms eliminate single-use plastic — creating a circular, tech-driven alternative for take-away and food delivery. Today, more than 2,500 partner restaurants and 300,000 users rely on Relevo to make convenience more sustainable, one meal at a time.

Powering the reusable movement
At the core of Relevo’s reusable ecosystem are its iOS and Android applications, designed to make sustainable dining effortless. With a quick scan, users can borrow dedicated Relevo dishes from any partner restaurant — from sushi bowls to pizza boxes — and return them at another location nearby. The experience is simple, intuitive, and circular by design.
Challenge 01: Connectivity gaps across restaurants
Many restaurant partners lacked reliable internet access, creating friction in the borrowing and returning process.
Solution: We built an offline-first architecture that allows essential actions to be completed even without connectivity. The feature became a cornerstone of Relevo’s reliability, ensuring smooth user experiences in every environment.
Challenge 02: Encouraging user adoption
German users are often cautious about downloading unfamiliar applications, limiting early adoption potential.
Solution: We implemented App Clip for iOS and Instant App for Android, enabling users to try Relevo immediately without installation. This “try before you download” feature became a key driver of user acquisition, converting casual users into long-term advocates.
Challenge 03: Scaling the reusable ecosystem
Managing thousands of partners and reusable assets required a robust operational backbone.
Solution: We developed a B2B Partner Platform and an Admin Portal that power Relevo’s nationwide operations. Partners can order new packaging, manage inventory, and track environmental impact, while the Relevo team monitors the full lifecycle of every asset in real time.

Redesign the Relevo mobile experience
Relevo needed a mobile experience that could inspire everyday participation in the reusable movement. The previous design made it difficult for users to understand how to borrow and return dishes or to see their personal environmental impact. We responded with a complete user-journey redesign that turns sustainability into an intuitive, transparent experience.
Key improvements:
Personal impact made visible
Real-time indicators highlight each user’s contribution to reducing single-use waste, connecting individual actions to Relevo’s larger mission.
Guided reuse process
Clear, step-by-step instructions and intuitive icons show how to borrow, use, and return dishes with confidence.
Transparent by design
Prominent messaging explains the no-deposit model and includes timely reminders for return dates, building trust through clarity.
Accessible for all
High-contrast design, readable typography, and full VoiceOver and Screen Reader support ensure that every user can engage seamlessly.
