Too Small to Recycle
Plastic utensils are too small to recycle. They will fall through cracks in sorting machinery. Toss them in the garbage.
Ways to Reduce
Pack Reusable Utensils
Reduce plastic waste by packing a pair of to-go utensils for on-the-go meals. Metal or bamboo utensils such as To-Go Ware are best. Visit To-Go Ware’s online shop.
Choose Reusable for Parties
Provide guests with reusable utensils when entertaining. Dishes only need to be washed once, whereas plastic will be around long after we’re gone.
Reusable Packaging For Businesses
Check out Upstream’s catalog of reusable packaging and unpackaging innovators that provide ways for consumers to obtain products, mostly food and beverages, in returnable, reusable, or refillable packaging – or they deliver products to consumers unpackaged altogether.
