Thanks in part to grants from the EPA and Citizens Committee for New York City, media company A+E has debuted a reusable to-go container program in the company’s employee cafeteria. The venture aims to reduce waste from single-use boxes, relying instead on the GO Box technology platform to manage customer borrowing and returning of the zero-waste containers.
MSWAB-partner CCNYC selected A+E as the pilot site after surveying and evaluating dozens of workplace cafeterias across the city. The MSWAB applauds the program, which is one of several circular initiatives poised to disrupt the takeout scene in 2020. Fast casual chain Dig recently launched a program, as did Deliver Zero and Cup Zero. The Future is Good is likewise gathering funds for reusables work.
