“In an effort to encourage alternatives to Styrofoam, the Oregon Legislature passed a separate bill in 2023 to allow restaurant customers to bring their own reusable containers for takeout or leftovers.”
Amazing how that isn’t just common practice around the world and that there are laws that actually prevent it.
Probably for food safety reasons, right? When I worked a fast food job I was told never take anything from the customer because who knows how well it was cleaned, what’s been in it, etc.
Reminds me of a friend’s story who worked at a construction market. An old lady wanted to return a toilet brush - used of course. Her reason was that “it’s not dishwasher-safe”. I don’t want to touch this lady’s tupperware, neither do I want a worker, a table or a spoon at a takeout restaurant to touch it. Tbh I want a saftey distance for all food related businesses - and myself - of at least 2m all the time to anything which has been in that dishwasher.
It’s possible she intended to use it for something else, such as scrapping food from dishes (sounds like a bad idea, but at least it’s safe hygiene-wise)
They’re about the right size and shape for some bottles
Most places have customers put their own leftovers in boxes so this isn’t a problem.

When I had to work in person like a bitch I would bring my own metal spork to Chipotle for lunch.

I just hope this doesn’t backfire like with the switch to paper bags to plastic bags back to paper to polyester bags that are actually worse for the environment back to plastic but now it’s Green™ plastic that doesn’t last for shit so we’re back to paper bags.

A solid plastic cup is at least reusable. Styrofoam cups are always single use. Breaking down faster is what makes them worse.
All “break down” means here is to turn into extremely small micro / nano particles. With hard plastic the damage you’re doing to the environment is more constrained to one piece which you can scoop up if you want. It’s way worse if it’s turned into dust and distributed in rain water, ocean water, the veggies you eat, etc.
I go to aldis and put all my shit in a fruit or vegetable box. I don’t get more then one box because I am poor.
