The Problem? Single-use food packaging is piling up: in our landfills, in our streets and waterways, and in our cabinets, as we desperately try to reuse what we can.
Choosing Kind Box reusable containers will:
1. Reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, water usage, and energy usage due to less production and transportation of single-use containers.
2. Remove single-use containers from the waste stream, removing them from landfills, streets, waterways, and incinerators.
3. Create jobs for picking up, washing and sanitizing, and delivering Kind Box containers back to restaurants.
4. Put St. Louis on the map for innovative, sustainable progress.
