Dishwashing #infrastructure has been a barrier for scaling #reuse. We have that covered with our wash hubs, reuse models and expertise. We’re making widespread reuse a reality!: wastedive.com/news/rcup-seat…

“We can’t recycle our way out of the problem of too many single-use disposables… Cities need systems that enable reuse, and that’s why we’re excited about what r.Cup is doing.” - Pat Kaufman, @SeattleSPU @CityofSeattle   #reuse #sustainability #cities linkedin.com/pulse/rcup-nati…
r.Cup is sparking critical systemic change that makes widespread adoption of reusables a reality.   If you’re a city leader looking for solutions to your single-use waste, we can help! @rcupworld #reuse #infrastructure #sustainability #zerowaste #cities

r.Cup Impact CUPdate: If you stacked up all of the single-use cups we’ve diverted from the waste stream in the first 6 months of 2002 - it would be as tall as 750 Statue of Liberties. Our excitement for this growing impact is beyond measure! #reuse #sustainability #impact
