Every revolution starts with a spark. In Fabian Eckert's case, overflowing garbage cans and towers of paper cups were the spark that ignited the idea for a deposit system for coffee cups and thus became the starting signal for RECUP's packaging revolution. A lot has happened since Fabian founded RECUP together with Florian Pachaly in September 2016: In November 2016, they launched their pilot project in Rosenheim and showed that reusable packaging works in the food service industry! With over eight years of experience in setting up and expanding the RECUP reusable system, now with over 20,000 catering partners and market entry in Austria, Fabian is Managing Director of the market-leading provider of reusable containers in the catering industry. In 2021, he was recognized as a LinkedIn Changemaker and received the Bavarian Environmental Medal. Before RECUP, Fabian studied Business Psychology (University of Applied Management) and Leadership for Sustainability at Malmö University. He was born on 15.10.89 in Munich.
