Let’s Make Serving Reusable Takeout Containers as Easy As Serving Disposables!
Over the last year, takeout has become a restaurant staple. It’s been a great way to support local businesses throughout the pandemic, but at what cost? Normally, many of these restaurants would serve their food in house on reusable plates that are washed, and reused time and time again. Unfortunately, takeout containers are typically single-use only and result in an enormous amount of waste. A Friendlier Company believes that this doesn’t need to be the case, and that takeout containers should be reused, just like the in-house dishes we’re used to.
A Friendlier Company is introducing a reusable takeout container program in London, so you can feel confident knowing that your takeout is not harming the planet.
Green Economy London invites you to join us for this exciting information session, where you can learn more about this program, and how your business can get involved!
Information Session Agenda:
A Friendlier Company’s co-founders, Kayli Dale and Jacquie Hutchings, will be going over how their reusable takeout container service works and taking questions from attendees. You will also hear from and interact with a restaurant owner who is currently utilizing the reusable container service in Guelph!
Reimagine Co will also be speaking during the session to talk about how they are implementing the reusable takeout container service at their store!
