BEST Tip of the Week
Did you know that reducing or replacing the amount of disposable kitchenware your business uses has great potential to decrease your waste bill? Styrofoam displaces an excess of four times the amount of storage and disposal volume than a paper or bio-ware equivalent does. If it is appropriate for your business, reusable kitchenware is best. However, single use paper or bio-ware products are more sustainable than plastics and Styrofoams. Visit FurmanBEST.biz for more ways to reduce waste!
