Habits of Waste Persuades Uber Eats to Drop Plastic Ware

Why is it a Big Deal: The World Economic Forum estimates that people throw 40 billion plastic utensils away every year. 

How it Happened: Habits of Waste, an organization committed to waste reduction, presented the Uber Eats Global Public Policy lead with the idea and a plan to implement it, including an opt-in policy.

What’s Next: Legislation. Habits of Waste has presented their utensil opt-in idea to California State Senators and Assembly Members and is working to turn #CutOutCutlery into a bill.
