Reusable Packaging and Foodservice Containers Examples

Recently @Jamil Karim , @Lavina Gully and I spent the day working out of SFU’s Venture Lab in downtown Vancouver. I arrived a bit early and grabbed a hot drink at the Tim Hortons on the main floor and saw this interesting re-usable cup system being used.

We’ve seen quite a few of our CFIN members tackle the reusable packaging opportunity in various ways and I personally love the idea of being able to return my take out containers to my local Thai take out place - especially if it means I don’t have to have styrofoam touch my food (I always feel creeped out by styrofoam - anyone else?).

If you’ve seen resuable packaging solutions in your area, pop them in the thread below and add a hashtag for where you’re from and for the name of the business using reusables.

I am happy to see Tim’s taking on a solution here, I often pick up their cups as trash while dog walking.
