Illini Box (Microgrant)
Project Description
This project aims to solve the issue of the unsustainable process of using single-use bowls, lids, and to-go containers. This team has started to look for partners and companies to provide reusable to-go containers. This is needed, as many students want to eat their food in a different location than the dining hall. Dining halls use single-use containers for to-go meals, this generates unneeded waste which eventually ends up in a landfill since it cannot be recycled as it contains food waste. This project will directly benefit students as they would be able to take their food to-go using sustainable containers. The indirect impact on the students and community is creating a more sustainable and green campus. Washing and reusing containers requires much less energy than continually producing single-use containers.
