The Eco-Switch: From Plastics to Progress
Most consumers pick an eco-forward restaurant over the competition, and with new innovation and legislation, it’s easier than ever to meet customer demand.
Quick Bite
The focus of any food service is, well…food, but more and more consumers say they’re paying attention to those plastic containers your restaurant uses. Making an eco-friendly choice is now more than just a feel-good personal choice—it can boost popularity and translate to more sales.
Climate-conscious countries like Jamaica are leading the way in banning single-use plastic food containers, which means that sustainable, plastic alternatives are the only way to go in these markets. While the US doesn’t have this type of national regulation, individual states and communities are heading in the same direction—that gives your business the perfect chance to make an eco choice marketable before it becomes a requirement.
With so many new alternatives to plastics, it’s easier than ever to make the eco switch. New plant products like agave fibers are being used to make everything from plates to straws, and to-go bags are making the switch from plastic to dissolvable material.
Food for Thought
Consumers want to support green companies, which gives your business an easy way to stand out and earn their support.
