New Jersey ReThink Disposable Case Studies
Interfaith Neighbors Meals on Wheels Monmouth County
"My eyes were made wide open. We replaced a plastic fruit cup, mainly sugar, with a fresh piece of fruit. We took sugary desserts out of our meals as well. Many are diabetic so this is a cost savings as well as a much more nutritious alternative." - Beth Paterno, Director, Nutrition Program
Interfaith Neighbors Senior Center Program
Interfaith Neighbors provides multiple services, including daily dine-in meals through their six senior nutrition programs. Through their partnership with ReThink Disposable, Interfaith Neighbors eliminated 100% of their single-use disposable foodware for a total annual net cost savings of $37,113 - saving valuable funds that can be used to better serve their clients.
Franciscan Charities of Newark, NJ
ReThink Disposable provided Franciscan Charities of Newark with 400 sets of reusable food serviceware, eliminating 936,000 single-use disposables totaling 10,750 pounds from entering the waste stream annually and providing clients with a more dignified meal experience. "We are appreciative that we won’t only save up to $50,000 every year but we are also moving towards being better stewards of our environment." - Director Melissa Hillier, Franciscan Charities of Newark
