Reduced costs, satisfied customers, clean streets, and COVID-safety. These are a few of the many reasons why more and more restaurants and other businesses are switching to reusables.
Reusables are quickly becoming the new standard across the state. Not only do they cut down on pollution and waste, they also save businesses and their customers money – 100% of the time.

Study after study shows that reusable foodware is far cheaper than disposables after just a handful of uses – even taking into account the costs of dishwashing and labor.

The CDC, WHO, CA’s Department of Public Health, and scientists across the globe agree: there is ZERO RISK of transmission of COVID-19 from surface-to-surface contact.
Now that we know this important information, food service operators should feel safe returning to reusables and embracing their indisputable benefits.

Did you know the vast majority of street litter comes from disposable take-out food and beverage packaging?
If every food service business transitioned to reusables, we could reduce trash in our sidewalks and streets that ends up in waterways and landfills by as much as two-thirds. Additionally, costs of waste pick-up and disposal would plummet for businesses and taxpayers alike.

As more and more customers demand reusables, new businesses are meeting the needs of restaurants and food service operators of all stripes. Some offer low-cost reusable items, some cater to special events, while others offer full-service, daily cleaning, pick-up and drop-off so restaurants can focus on top-notch food and customer service instead.

Restaurants in the U.S. spend an estimated $24 billion per year on disposable foodware, which generates nearly 9 million tons of waste per year.
If we transitioned to reusables for dine-in and take-out in California alone, in just one year we could:
✅ Eliminate nearly one million tons of waste
✅ Save businesses and taxpayers $600 million
✅ Prevent 2 billion pieces of litter from entering waterways and oceans
✅ Add 23,160 jobs serving the new reuse economy

As the climate crisis grows, cities, counties, and state governments will enact more legislation to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics and encourage a transition to reusables – especially for restaurants and other food service operators.
The good news is that reusables are a key component to creating a healthier planet. They also cost far less than disposables, saving between $3,000 and $22,000 per year and reducing 1300-2200 pounds of waste per business.
