In May 2022 Marin County adopted an Ordinance to ban single-use plastic food ware.
The Ordinance uses the hierarchy: reusables are best, compostable fiber food ware is compliant, and single-use plastics are prohibited.
Reducing the amount of disposable items we consume is not only better for the environment, it also reduces the amount of litter in the community and lowers the amount of greenhouse gas inputs used to produce the disposable product in the first place.
Lotus is a leader in reducing waste in the Restaurant industry. We have been promoting TIFFIN meal containers for years. These are metal containers from India available to purchase at Lotus. Bring them back whenever you order Lotus takeout or for your leftovers.
