Watch the video of our informative and engaging webinar Ditching Disposables: Dish Washing and Dish Machines in K-12 Schools. This webinar explains some of the technical issues around bringing in a new washing system to a school site, a deep dive into an elementary school case study of reusables and how it led to state legislation (namely CA SB 1255), and also how schools can interface with dishware as a service (DaaS) and mobile dish machines. CEH is hosting Ditching Disposable webinars to encourage schools to move away from purchasing toxic disposable food ware items for youths.
