The problem with today’s “one-way, throw-away” food-service economy
* Nearly 1 trillion individual pieces of disposable foodware and packaging used by US restaurants and food service businesses. This breaks down as 21% for on-site dining and 79% for take-out and delivery.
* $24 billion spent by restaurants and food-service businesses on disposables each year.
* Nearly 9 million tons equals the total weight of all the disposables used – equivalent to the weight of 25 Empire State Buildings.
* $6 billion spent by businesses and city governments on solid waste management costs attributable to disposable food packaging.
* Roughly 20 billion pieces of litter are from disposable food-service packaging.
* This creates significant climate pollution, energy use, water consumption, resource extraction, waste generation, litter generation and plastic pollution.
The solution is with tomorrow’s new reuse economy.
* Reusable foodware beats single-use alternatives through every environmental measure (climate, water, land use, waste, pollution, etc.).
* Reuse protects the climate. Over their life-cycle, reusables have lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to disposable alternatives.
* Water consumption for washing reusables is minimal when using commercial dishwashers that are highly efficient.
* Making the switch from single-use to reuse always ends up saving money - 100% of the time.
* Nearly all restaurants that have transitioned to reusables have done it without changing their dishwashing set-up or increasing labor costs.
* Reusables increase customer and employee satisfaction, generate valuable customer data, build brand loyalty and create opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to create and scale the new reuse economy.
Join the movement of reusables. With your partnership, we can make A better planet with every takeout!
