Be part of the change! This earth day, do your part by ditching single use plastic and paper containers, and opt to use a greener alternative with the help of MyGo Containers™. Reusable to-go containers are an easy solution that can alleviate the increase in packaging and to go container waste that The U.S. has seen over the past year. While not the first reusable to go container on the market, MyGo Containers™ are set apart from other reusable solutions by their attractive aesthetic and their focus on functionality to create a better experience through better design.
Research shows that mess free transport and keeping foods separated are key concerns when getting meals for carryout. MyGo Containers™ are thoughtfully designed, high-performance, reusable to-go containers that address end-user concerns and reduce food packaging waste to lessen the environmental impact caused by the increase in to-go meals. By providing the end user with a better experience, using MyGo Containers™ promotes sustainability without sacrifices.
The Unites States is estimated to generate 82.2 million tons of packaging and containers annually according to the EPA. While over half of this is recycled, well over 1/3 will end up on landfills. With most inside dining options closed for most of 2020 and remaining closed in the first quarter of 2021, the take-out food market has increased exponentially in commercial foodservice applications like restaurants, food trucks, and bars as well as institutional dining applications like college campus dining outlets, K-12 school lunch programs and senior living meal services. Along with all the other challenges created by the pandemic, the use of styrofoam and paper carryout boxes has skyrocketed creating an added burden in the collection and disposal of food packaging waste.
MyGo Containers™ are made to be used again and again. Constructed of highly durable, 100% BPA free polypropylene, all MyGo Containers™ are safe for reheating foods in a microwave and will easily last over 1000 cycles in a commercial dish washing machine. MyGo Containers™ are comfortable to carry, with softly curved edges and radiused corners. They are also designed to showcase meals with a translucent shell and contrasting colored gasket. The gasket color can also be customized to match a school’s colors or a restaurant’s branding.
The product line includes seven different affordable and aesthetically pleasing models and a MyGo collection receptacle where end users deposit soiled containers for collection when being used as part of a commercial or institutional reuse program. Once collected, the containers are washed and reused again and again. MyGo Containers™ are currently in use in university campus dining operations and institutional meal service programs.
