1. Landfill Reduction: By using reusable dishes, we divert these items from ending up in landfills or littering our environment. This helps reduce the burden on landfills and minimizes the need for waste management.  2. Long-Term Cost Savings: Although reusable dishes may have a higher upfront cost, they offer cost savings in the long run since they can be used multiple times. On the other hand, disposable items require continuous repurchasing, which can be more expensive over time. 3. Preservation of Natural Habitats: The extraction of raw materials for disposable items can lead to habitat destruction and ecosystem degradation. By opting for reusable dishes, we help protect natural habitats and biodiversity.  4. Plastic Pollution Mitigation: Disposable plastic items, including plates and utensils, are a major contributor to plastic pollution in oceans and waterways. Reusable dishes help reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in the environment and harms marine life. 5. Promotion of Sustainable Practices: Using reusable dishes sets a positive example for others and encourages a shift towards more sustainable practices at events and gatherings. It fosters an eco-conscious mindset and demonstrates the importance of taking care of our planet.

You do loose your deposit when dish ware is damaged or broken. But still make sure to bring it back to us! 

Following our theory of reusability, when plastic dish ware is over worn or broken plastic is sent back to preserve to be made into new dish ware. 

Preserve is the only company in the united states recycling plastic and turning it into 100% recycled reusable plastic dish ware.
