Ditching Disposables Tookit (2024)

The goal of this toolkit is to help your school or school district make the transition from single-use foodware containing harmful chemicals towards healthier and more sustainable options. Food packaging and foodware can release toxic chemicals into food or beverages and should be considered when serving a healthy meal. While there is some reference to scientific studies on toxic chemicals found in common food serviceware and their potential effects on human health, much of this toolkit provides information about best practices from our direct experience implementing reusables at a number of school sites.
