A Chicago company is hoping restaurants, stadiums and festivals will make the switch to their plastic containers that can be used over 1,000 times.
Chicago-based REUSO provides reusable packaging for food that is checked out and returned like library books and can be used 1,000 times.Our throw-away culture has us drowning in waste. In 2020 alone, over 22 million pounds of single-use plastic entered the Great Lakes.REUSO, as the start-up is aptly called, is a reusable packaging platform.
What also makes REUSO unique is its innovative tracking software. Co-founder Neil Misak said it works similarly to the library system. "There's a $1 service fee for each order. That helps us offset the technology and washing cost, and as long as you return your reusables within 14 days there is no additional cost," said Misak.
