The benefits of online food delivery (FD) were extremely popular during the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 because it allowed consumers to receive prepared food. This platform has grown very popular, not only in the younger generation, but also in the older generation, due to the convenience of ordering food online, the speed with which it is delivered, and the diversity of cuisine available to suit everyone's budget and taste. Plastic waste generation, food waste, and a high carbon footprint are the main issues related to online food delivery systems. Both the massive amount of waste created and the huge carbon footprint have affected the environment. The rising demand for this form of food service is expected to drastically alter restaurant consumers' consumption patterns, ultimately accelerating the use of single-use plastics. The issues of sustainability-related to plastic usage linked with online food delivery services are discussed in this study, along with suggestions for how to address them.
