Reusable To-Go Box
PSA: Bring your own reusable to-go box into restaurants instead of waiting for a server to bring you a disposable one.
Bring your own container. Cut waste. Save money.
Less Plastic Waste
Skip single-use containers and keep plastic out of landfills.
Better Seal, Less Mess
Sturdier containers seal better than thin clamshells so meals stay put.
Lower packaging costs and less server time mean lower overhead and menu prices
Save Restaurants Money
Easier Portion Control
Pack your own bow and easily see what you're taking home.
Plastic Bags Add Up
Single-use to-go containers are one of the most common sources of plastics waste in the food industry. They're used for the length of a car ride home, and they cost restaurants money on every single order. A cost that will get passed on to customers.
Bringing your own reusable to-go container solves this from both directions; you get surdier, better-sealing container that won't leak in your bag, and the container that wont leak in your bag, and the restaurant saves on packaging costs and server time.
THE FIX IS SIMPLE
Why It's Worth Doing
Less Waiting
No need to flag down a server for a box; you already have one.
Better Seal
Most reusable containers seal far better than thin plastic clamshells, no more spills.
Portion Control
Packing your own box helps you see what you're taking home versus what you ate.
Lower Costs
Fewer disposable containers and less server time reduce overhead and keep menu princes in check.
Less Plastic
Reusable containers are rarely recyclable due to food contamination. Skipping them is the biggest win.
Make Low-Waste Living Easier.
Keep a few stackable containers and lids in your car for spontaneous restaurant trips, just like you would reusable shopping bags. Or keep a bag with the to-go boxes and other items that you brinfg with you. To see more swaps like this one, check out our free Sustainable Swaps Guide.
