REduce REuse REcycle

Over this last year or two, we the people have become more involved in what’s been dubbed the Green Revolution. More and more people seem to be waking up to the fact that recycling is quite pivotal to an environmentally friendly world. There’s no denying that as a culture, we waste a lot. Whether it’s food, gasoline, electricity, paper, you name it we’re a society of over indulgence. However, the biggest problem with this picture is not necessarily the amount that which we use, but the amount that which we don’t re-use. It’s actually quite incredible at which how much of our most used materials are reusable. To think that we spend money on sinking garbage into the depths of the ocean, or smuggling it into landfills when a lot of it can be reused is quite unsettling. What’s the benefit to using new plastic for garbage bags when it ends up in the garbage anyway? We’ve found there is none.

Doing our part, and doing what we simply believe in, we’ve ensured that every bag, container, and piece of cutlery is environmentally friendly. Even our napkins and coffee cup sleeves are made from recycled content. Our plastic bags are made for us by EnviroJolt™. They are designed and manufactured to be environmentally friendly. They’re even printed with water based inks and are fully recyclable. Alongside our bags, we have salad containers known as: The Bottle Box™. Made from 100% post consumer PET beverage bottles – guaranteed. This process is the very first of its kind in the US to utilize 100% recycled bottles to make each Bottle Box™.

And now, for those of you who prefer not be bothered with “baggage”, we have our very own reusable tote bags. For just a buck, you purchase one of our totes and receive 25 cents off your entire purchase EVERYTIME YOU USE IT in store. So now that you’re aware of our involvement with the Green Revolution, what can you do to get involved yourself? Be mindful of where your eateries source their materials. Whether it’s the food, or the packaging – it all can end up in the same place when you’re finished with it. Let’s make sure that place is in a recycling bin.
