Reusable food containers are a great way to improve your non-food waste and have a positive impact on the environment. Foam, plastic or paper disposable carry-out containers create excess trash and are often not appropriate or safe for reheating foods in the microwave. By switching to reusable to-go containers, customers are free to reheat their food in the container and can clean the container in the dishwasher to ensure sanitation so it can be used again and again. Perfect anywhere that disposable containers are used, a reusable to-go container allows your customer to easily transport their meal to eat in their preferred location and return the container to you for washing once finished.
There are a wide variety of applications for reusable to-go containers. There are many colleges and universities that offer carry out meals or grab and go stations using reusable to go containers. You can read about how Northern Illinois University has implemented a reusable carry-out container program in our blog post. In long term care facilities, meals can be prepackaged in reusable to go containers for easy delivery to resident rooms or small dining areas away from the dining room that allow residents to maintain social distancing and minimize contact with others. Reusable containers are also making their way into K-12 schools for in classroom meals rather than having children gather in large groups in the cafeteria. Reusable to go containers are also gaining in popularity with caterers for boxed lunch deliveries. And many cities are banning the use of foam containers opening the door for reusable carry out container programs.
