The New Era of Sustainable Food Service
The restaurant industry stands at a critical turning point. While 88% of restaurants now cite sustainability as a top priority (National Restaurant Association, 2024), the challenge lies in implementing changes that satisfy both environmental concerns and business realities. Through our decade-long partnership with over 1,000 restaurants worldwide, we’ve uncovered what truly works in sustainable straw adoption.
