Greener food delivery for Ghana

We're reducing plastic waste and supporting low-emission delivery across Accra. Here's what we're doing and where we're headed.

What we're doing now

Less plastic, by default
We're working with vendors to switch to compostable and recyclable packaging, and to make cutlery opt-in at checkout so we only include it when you ask.
Green delivery
Most Chek Chek deliveries in dense Accra zones are made by bicycle or motorbike, which produce far fewer emissions per order than cars.
Reusable containers pilot
In select neighborhoods, we're trialing returnable containers that customers hand back to riders, cutting single-use packaging at the source.
Supporting local sourcing
Chek Fresh buys directly from Accra's markets, shortening the supply chain and reducing the cold-chain energy that imported produce requires.

Where we're headed

STEP 01
Carbon-light logistics
Route orders to the nearest rider and batch nearby deliveries to cut distance per order.
STEP 02

Provide guides and supplier connections so restaurants can adopt greener packaging affordably.
