First dive into NACUFS national conference! Something that really stood out was embracing natural resources and the effort University of Louisville and Louisville Water Company have gone to do among many other amazing sustainability initiatives they have in place. We often talk about technology as an essential tool to tackle climate change and commonly it is the case. However, seeing the campaign was a refreshing reminder that sometimes simply having the “best tasting” tap water and a great behavior change campaign is enough. Apparently, they’ve been running it for over 20 years. I think back to reuse in foodservice, and the innovation and efforts to create packaging from “natural sources”. While that has its place, plenty of research demonstrates that simply reusing durable materials that already exist and having the right infrastructure is the most sustainable solution. That is why when we started FoodWare our mission from day one was embracing existing durable materials and creating systems to #reuse and ensure their #circularity.

If you, like me, also care about your health, then you need to hear this. Switching to reusables isn't just a green choice—it's a smart health decision. Single-use plastics often contain harmful chemicals like BPA, PFAS, and phthalates, which can leach into food and beverages, especially when heated. These chemicals are linked to hormone disruption, reproductive issues, and other health risks. The presence of chemicals such as PFAS in compostable products pose significant risks to human health as well as the environment. These "forever chemicals" do not break down easily, leading to contamination of compost and soil where these products are used. Reusables made from stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free plastics eliminate these dangers. By opting for reusables, you are supporting businesses that prioritize your health, the environment, and contribute to a sustainable future.

Tracking: the Secret Sauce to a Successful Reuse Program Over the years, I’ve spoken with countless universities about what makes a reusable program truly successful. One key factor stands out when looking at programs that flourish and those that do not make it: tracking. Tracking facilitates data gathering to tell a story, and ensures that the program is sustainable for the long run both in an environmental perspective and financially. By continuously measuring and analyzing the performance of the program, you can refine strategies and address challenges before they become major issues. Programs are dynamic, and what works today may need adjustment tomorrow. Tracking provides the feedback necessary for ongoing improvement, ensuring that your program remains effective and relevant over time. At FoodWare, we understand the power of tracking firsthand. With our innovative tracking strategies, we’ve achieved impressive 99% return rates. Our approach ensures that programs are not only successful but also sustainable. By leveraging data effectively, we help institutions create programs that truly make an impact. #CircularEconomy #FoodWare #Tracking #Reusables #FoodServiceInnovations #FoodService #Sustainability #ZeroWaste
