Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and re-use?:
A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:
The reusable to-go boxes are available at the Connection Cafe in the UC, and are part of the university’s sustainability efforts. Initially the Cafe used plastic foam then moved on to use biodegradable boxes before the implementation of the reusable box. After using the box, students must bring it back to the Cafe so they can either turn in it or swap it out for a clean one. The boxes are microwaveable and dishwasher safe. While the Cafe will wash the boxes upon return, students are encouraged to rinse the boxes before returning them.
