Why Reuse?
Reduce Waste
95% of plastics don't get recycled-even if you throw them in the blue bin! Instead, most single-use plastics end up in our oceans and landfills and bodies. Each time you choose to reuse, one less container goes to landfill.
Avoid Emissions
The production of single-use containers, even compostable ones, is a resource-intensive process. Each time you reuse, one less container needs to be manufactured, shipped overseas, and delivered to your campus.
Save Water
Yes, reuse requires washing. However, this sanitization process uses less water than is required for the production of a new single-use container.
