Partnership with A Friendlier Company
Returnable restaurant containers play a vital role in promoting sustainability, reducing waste, and conserving valuable resources. By using reusable containers, you can significantly minimize the number of single-use containers that end up in landfills, reduce the demand for new containers, and conserve energy and raw materials used in the production of disposable containers. Furthermore, returnable containers operate within a closed-loop system, where they are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and reused, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly restaurant industry. For the Living Lab project, Bloom has partnered with Friendlier, a local provider of returnable containers.
