Frequently Asked Questions
What do you look for in a Partner?
We look for companies or individuals who are already in the trade of food-service products either as a retailer or distributor. Or if you are passionate about sustainability and want to be involved with Ecoware commercially, then would love to hear from you too.
Why should I become a Partner?
The short answer is, to make a difference. We started this company at a time when there was no legislation, awareness, or alternative to single-use plastic. We persevered and are now seeing the fruits of our efforts. If you feel single-use plastic should be relegated to history want to work with a company with established credibility, quality, and integrity then come talk to us. You can also look forward to:
- Discounted pricing that allows you to earn above-market margins
- Access to C-level management and a dedicated national sales manager
- Direct marketing support by way of personal interaction and access to Ecoware collaterals
Do you sign up Partners immediately? What is the process?
We receive many inquiries for re-selling, distributing, stocking, and promoting Ecoware throughout the world. Whoever we engage with, our principle remains the same. We believe in performance and not potential. To this end, it is very important that you first demonstrate your ability to successfully purchase, market, and liquidate Ecoware products in your region or city on a sustainable basis. This can be a few containers or 100,000 pieces (depending on the size of your market). If you do so, we will be more inclined to work with you and more comfortable sharing our brand credentials with you. We are looking for partners who will care for our baby as much as we do!
I feel strongly about the environment, but don’t have any business experience?
Not a problem. We cannot promise to handhold you all the way but we will certainly guide how to promote Ecoware.
I want to start but am unsure of the volumes I can commit. Can we still work together?
Typically, we service large order volumes via our Partners. However, if you are in a country or region where alternatives to single-use plastic are lacking, then we can certainly help you get started. While you may be new, at an absolute minimum we would expect you to undertake thorough market research on the feasibility of Ecoware in your area. If your analysis looks promising then we will support pricing to make your market entry viable.
How can we collaborate on social media?
We always like to work with restaurants and partners to promote each other on social media. If you tag us on your platform @ecowareindia or email us pictures of your food/dishes in our products to enquiry@ecoware.rheasinghal.com then we will share a discount code for you to use on your next purchase.
