Zeal, a locally-owned restaurant in Boulder, is leading the charge for a sustainable takeout future. Wayde Jester, Zeal's manger and owner, has been using DeliverZero and other reusable serviceware for years, and is excited to build a movement across Boulder. “The more restaurants that use DeliverZero, the better and more adopted it will become." He adds, "Eventually, when enough businesses are doing this, people will start expecting reusables" and embrace them as a part of their lifestyle.
Another bonus? Financial savings. Over time, "you start saving money using sustainable and reusable products like DeliverZero, because you don’t have to keep buying single-use bags, or plastic straws, and instead you put that money towards quality materials."
