How To Use

3 of 5

  1. Research some more information about how fast food companies contribute to the problem of single use plastic. Also, compile a list of the types of packaging at the restaurant you chose. Then, research alternatives to single use plastic. Also, see if you can find examples of companies who have implemented these changes.
  2. Now, craft your plan.
    1. What alternatives will you choose?
    2. Why did you choose them?
      1. What are the main positives and negatives of the alternatives you chose?
    3. Will this change how customers interact with your product? (e.g. reusable packaging that they have to bring back).
  3. What type of waste will your new packaging create? How will you manage it? (e.g. compost bins)
  4. Think through the possible objections to your plan and how you would respond to them.
  5. Share with the group and see if you can convince them that your plan will help reduce waste from single use plastic.
