Great news from Brown Avenue Elementary School in Johnston - they are fighting #PlasticPollution with our @RDisposable program! Thanks to a grant from @RIDeptEd, the school switched from polystyrene trays to reusable stainless steel trays and sporks! Way to go!

Our #ReThinkDisposable program is making a big difference for San Francisco restaurants and beyond: House of Dim Sum is now saving $33,561 & 7.7 tons of waste annually after switching to reusable foodware!

Text: THE BOTTOM LINE • $429 upfront investment in reusable foodware • $33,561 in total annual net cost savings • 2.2 million disposable items reduced per year • 7.2 tons of annual waste reduction (equivalent to the weight of a San Francisco cable car) “I encourage other businesses to work with ReThink Disposable and the City for the cost savings and to eliminate disposable items.” — Ying Huang, Owner
