Texas State University announced Nov. 15 that Texas State Dining, Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services and Ozzi teamed up to provide reusable containers in the dining halls on campus.
Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services serves as the food service contractor for Texas State as well as more than 300 campuses of higher education in the United States, according to a press release. Ozzi, the company that manufacturers the reusable takeout container systems, estimates its products have averted an estimated 25 million disposable containers to date.
More than 2,000 reusable containers are now in circulation to help reduce the university’s carbon footprint. The containers can be purchased for $6.
