About Tiffin Loop

Tiffin Loop – our story

Tiffin Loop is the first plastic-free reusable takeaway system in Germany. The idea for it was born back in 2014: our founder Mustafa, like many other people, likes to get food to go. When Tiffin Loop didn’t yet exist, Mustafa always had his own bread box with him to transport his food. At some point, he thought to himself that it would be really great if many restaurants formed a loop so that he could spontaneously use takeaway without having to bring his own box. The mission was clear: put an end to the garbage that is produced when you buy takeaway. No more garbage cans overflowing with disposable packaging and cups! It’s time for a plastic-free reusable system in the food service industry, it’s time for Tiffin Loop!

Without any waste and completely plastic-free. So our name has a background: Tiffin = our reusable stainless steel container, Loop = cycle.
