This week on Nation's Restaurant News the top story was how food delivery is changing to become more sustainable. According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2023 State of the Industry report, two-thirds of U.S. adults said they’re more likely to order takeout from a restaurant now than before the pandemic. And according to the international membership forum, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, plastic waste has doubled from 2000 to 2019, and 40% of it comes from packaging. That’s a lot of clamshell containers.
