Stainless Steel is extremely durable, never mistaken for trash and IS recyclable - studies show 85% of stainless steel is recycled at the end of its lifecycle.
Silicone, which does not breakdown like plastic, was an obvious choice for our lids - outranking plastic in terms of safety, durability and lifecycle.
Why reuse?
Single-use takeout containers are a problem for the environment. Containers and packaging contribute over 23% of the materials piling up in landfills in the US. And we know that in order for a reusable container system to truly save waste – and money – those reusable containers need to be used again and again.
Almost everyday there is a headline about the dangers of plastic; microplastics are even being found in human blood.
Beyond that, only 9% of plastic has ever been recycled. Plus, it breaks down in dishwashers and microwaves and is, quite simply, trash.
How does it work?
Backing up our stainless steel reusable containers is a technology-based tracking system which ensures that your reusable containers are actually reused.
To check out a container, users simply scan the QR code on the bottom of their cup or bowl, just like a library book. The app then gives them reminders to return their container on time. Once they return it, the container is washed and then used again!
Better yet, our app provides lots of useful(l) data for both users and dining admin! This makes it easy to see how much waste, water, and emissions you’ve kept out of the landfill, showing the process in your zero waste campus dining journey.
At this time, The Terrace is the only Alfred State Dining Location that is available for this offer. See the cashier for more details!
