Reusable foodware in K-12 schools used to be the norm. Now, many schools are stuck in a more wasteful (and chemically toxic) system for meals at school. What happened? Why are they stuck?
Changing school nutrition systems in accordance with county health departments can be challenging. That’s why Center for Environmental Health and Upstream Solutions have teamed up with the Durham County Department of Public Health for a free webinar to help schools get county approval to move to a more environmentally friendly system.
Our speakers provide a practical case study of how these school districts and health departments can navigate new wash models from third party vendors that can help school districts return to non-toxic reusable foodware. We hope this free webinar will help schools transition to reusable foodware and reap the many cost and sustainability benefits of adopting upstream solutions for your school’s waste.
