As we are all experiencing during the pandemic, single-use foodware has become much more prominent in our lives. Disposable foodware is everywhere in restaurants, K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and other large businesses. Unfortunately, most people do not know that toxic chemicals are lurking in some disposable foodware to make them water- and grease-resistant. There is strong evidence that these toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in foodware leach from the plate into the food and into our bodies. These hormone-disrupting chemicals cause havoc and can lead to life-altering health consequences. Over the last four years, CEH has become a leader in providing scientific and procurement advice on healthier, environmentally preferable foodware options. In 2021, CEH created two powerful tools to transform the $19 billion global food service disposables market: GreenScreen Certified™ Standard for Food Service Ware and the Ditching Disposables Toolkit for K-12 schools. Together with our sophisticated procurement advisement strategy, CEH is working to build a world worth aspiring to: where disposable foodware no longer contains toxic ingredients like PFAS or styrene—and as a whole—disposables diminish their prominence in our lives and in our landfills. Then we can move away from a throwaway culture toward a circular economy.
