Why reusables?
With over 441 million single-use cups and takeout containers thrown away in Metro Vancouver each year, it's clear something needs to change. Single-use plastics are plain wasteful and "compostable" plastics aren't working as they were intended to.
​
People want to do the right thing, and in this case, it's using reusables. Whether that be encouraging customers to bring their own mug, providing reusable dine-in dishware, or offering a cup/container-sharing program, like ShareWares! 😉
