ReThink Disposable Collaborates with Schools to Bring Reuse to our Youth
K-12 students spend half their year in school, with up to 60% of students choosing school-provided lunch options. Pre-K and daycare kids are in these educational settings year-round. Unfortunately, many schools serve meals on disposable cafeteria foodware such as polystyrene foam trays and plastic utensils.
Why Plastic Free July?
Each year we collaborate with our reuse partners to highlight our work reducing single use plastic foodware from our waste streams. Why? Well, we know that 50% of all plastic ever produced has been manufactured since 2000. We also know that plastic contains forever chemicals that are known to cause health problems in humans.
This July, let’s make America the Land of the Plastic-Free!
This Plastic Free July, take stock of your consumer habits, strive to reduce your plastic consumption, spread the word, take action in your community, and speak out to your local government. Let's demand an end to the reign of “disposable” plastics and build a sustainable, reusable future!
