It’s absurd how much goes into the bin. Why can’t restaurants especially use cloth napkins that are cleaned off-site and also silverware, plates and cups like what was done for centuries? Getting all restaurants’ service paraphernalia away from disposable-like-Ikea-furniture to nearly zero waste seems entirely doableb because that’s how it was before. Even store beverage containers like seltzer water are refilled without melting them down, why can’t more manufacturers go back to the deposit system and just clean containers instead of completely destroying and remaking them for every use?
- oooooof 8y agoReduce, reuse, recycle. Destroy, remake, dispose.
- EADGBE 8y agoI can't think of one sit-down restaurant that doesn't use cloth napkins. Napkins as coasters; now that's a different problem.
- mrguyorama 8y agoMost of the more indie places seem to use disposable napkins.
- EADGBE 8y agoThat's true now that I think of it. Mom and pop's don't have that laundry service budget.
