Uber May Eliminate Single-Use Plastic
The company is aligning its food delivery operations with carbon neutrality goals globally.

According to a software company WorkWave, the food delivery industry emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon annually.
A latest initiative by the company could help the food delivery giant meet the green end goals. Last month, Uber announced a slew of initiatives to go green.

Uber plans to eliminate plastic waste by 2030, and GHGs from deliveries by 2040.
Additionally, Uber claims that they are moving away from single-use plastic to more sustainable options. According to the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental organization, 350 Million metric tons of plastic waste is generated globally.
