Eco-TakeoutsTM

The New Generation of To-Go ContainersEco-TakeoutsTM, la Nueva Generación de Contenedores para Llevar

Each year, millions of styrofoam containers end up in landfills after only one use. G.E.T.’s Eco-TakeoutsTM

series is a green alternative to disposable containers. Made of break-resistant, BPA free plastic, G.E.T.’s

reusable Eco-TakeoutsTM can be sanitized in the dishwasher and reused again and again.

How does it work?

Users check out the containers, consume their food outside of the cafeteria, and then return the

Eco-TakeoutsTM to be washed and sanitized. Eco-TakeoutsTM operate just like dishware used in the

cafeteria. However, the design allows one to take food to go! G.E.T.’s Eco-TakeoutsTM are better

for the environment and they also cut supply costs through reuse.

Figure 1 illustrates the amount in kilograms of greenhouse gases emitted by one Eco-TakeoutTM versus 360 polystyrene containers. It takes 24polystyrene containers to emit the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as one EC-12-1. However, once the Eco-TakeoutTM is reused atleast 24 times, over a 360-use lifespan, one Eco-TakeoutTM emits significantly less greenhouse gas than 360 single-use, disposable containers.

Figure 2 illustrates the amount in kWh of embodied energy of one Eco-TakeoutTM versus 360 polystyrene containers. It takes 32 polystyrene containers to use the same amount of embodied energy as one EC-12-1. However, once the Eco-TakeoutTM is reused at least 32 times, over a 360-use lifespan, one Eco-TakeoutTM uses significantly less embodied energy than 360 single-use, disposable containers.

Life Cycle Comparison:Reusable Eco-TakeoutsTM versus Disposable To-Go System

This study compares the environmental impact of one reusable to-go container to a single-use, disposable container of a similar size and dimension.The life cycle impact of these two products is compared by quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and embodied energy . These measurementswere chosen because they provide a basic picture of the total environmental impact of these two products.

This study was conducted using the GaBi 4 software program to create life cycle plans for the Eco-TakeoutTM and a standard polystyrene foamcontainer. Although certain information, such as product weight, miles traveled, and energy mix, were adjusted for this study, the GaBi 4 databasesprovide a reliable and well-documented source for comparison.

This study is a cradle-to-grave analysis and analyzes raw material extraction, production, transportation, reuse through dishwashing, and disposalthrough traditional landfill. Other impacts, such as machinery maintenance and packaging, were not included in the analysis. The functional unit forthis study is one Eco-TakeoutTM unit (EC-12-1) measuring 9 x 9 x 2.75 inches. Based on information available from institutions currently usingEco-TakeoutsTM, it is determined that the Eco-TakeoutTM can withstand at least 360 uses. This study compares one Eco-TakeoutTM reused 360 timesand 360 single-use polystyrene to-go containers.

[1] Embodied energy is the total energy “embedded” in the product throughout its life cycle.[2] Software and data base for Life Cycle Engineering, PE International GmbH and LBP University of Stuttgart, January 2007.[3] “Resources are extracted, shaped into products, sold, and eventually disposed of in a grave or landfill” Cradle to Grave, pp 27.
