Welcome to Irvine’s Foodware Calculator! Here, you can calculate how much money you are spending on disposable utensils, plates, bowls, cups, etc. and compare that against the potential total cost of switching to reusable items. Businesses have almost always seen a reduction in cost, long-term, when they switch from single use to reusable foodware pieces. We also provide a list of alternative items that are more sustainable than single use plastic items if you still need to have some use of disposables in your business.
