環保組織因環境污染起訴外賣三巨頭

A court in Beijing has agreed to file a case brought by an environmental protection non-governmental organization (NGO) against China's three major takeout meal-delivery platforms.

一家環保非政府組織起訴我國三大外賣送餐平臺，北京一家法院近日已經同意立案。

The Green Volunteer League of Chongqing is suing Beijing Xiaodu Information Technology, operator of Baidu's food delivery app Baidu Takeout, along with the Shanghai Rajax Information Technology, operator of Alibaba-backed delivery platform , and Beijing Sankuai Technology, operator of Meituan Waimai, for causing environmental pollution.

重慶市綠色志願者聯合會起訴北京小度信息科技有限公司、上海拉扎斯信息科技有限公司、北京三快科技有限公司造成環境污染。這三家公司分別是百度食品配送應用百度外賣、阿里巴巴支持的配送平臺餓了麼以及美團外賣的運營主體。

The organization claims the disposable packaging used by the three companies created a huge amount of waste and was damaging to ecological systems.

該組織稱，這三家公司使用的一次性包裝造成了巨大的浪費並破壞了生態系統。

The companies didn't require customers to specify the type of dishware their meals were packaged in, and disposable options were the default setting, which the NGO considered to be a defect in their business practices.

這些公司未要求顧客指定外賣包裝所用的餐具類型且一次性餐具選項是默認設置，該組織認爲這屬於經營模式缺陷。

The lawsuit was accepted by the No 4 Intermediate People's Court of Beijing.

北京第四中級人民法院已受理這起訴訟案。

The case notifications have also been sent to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Environmental Protection and the Beijing Administration of Industry and Commerce, the court said.

該法院表示，這起案件的通報也已發送至北京市環保局和北京市工商行政管理局。
