Sadly it looks like DeliveryZero is still using plastic. :( I'd really love to see some companies using non-plastic takeout containers, especially for hot foods.

But even with cold foods, every study that has come out has shown microplastic shedding even from water bottles.




Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Could it be better? Absolutely. Is it a great starting point? Absolutely.


Ugh I've been to other countries that have such bougie takeout containers, the shit we have here in the US is insufferable by comparison.

It is funny, sometimes a new Chinese restaurant HQ'd in China will open up locally, and they'll start off using the same high quality takeout containers that are used in China, including such things as every order comes in an insulated bag (!!) but eventually they bow to economies of scale and adopt the same shit takeout containers everyone else uses in the US.

Bleck.

I always think of when I went to Beijing, ordered a fruit soda, and they took out a real glass bottle, filled it up, sealed it, and gave it to me! 100% premo feeling.
