Imagine receiving your to-go coffee in a borrowed durable cup that keeps the coffee warm until the last drop. When you are done, you toss it into one of many conveniently placed collection bins around town, where it is picked up, washed, and sanitized, to be used again and again. If you could easily borrow and return reusable cups and containers every time you got food or drinks to go, at no cost to you as long as you returned the item, would you do it? 

Reusable foodware programs can offer a better and healthier eating and drinking experience, reduce waste and litter, create good local jobs, keep more money in the local economy, reduce the toxic emissions associated with extraction, transportation and manufacturing of single-use plastics, and deliver reductions in net greenhouse gas emissions.
