Quoting Dave Drum to Ruth Haffly <=-
On of my regular breakfast/lunch spots (Brunchfield Cafe) uses a paper based clamshell "go box" that I thought was styrofoam when I first met
it. It seems to be paper mache' or something very like it. Kudos to
Chef/ Owner Howard Seidel. https://brunchfield.com

Although not manatory here (yet) biodegradable, compostable clam-
shells and soup containers are becoming quite common here. And a lot
of people will lobby more restaurants to adopt them, In a highly scientific survey I found that 3 out of 3 Gen Z zoomers strongly
approve of them.

Errrrrmmmmm .... look in the rear-vision mirror. We used to have paper bags, paper straws, cardboard or chipboard boxes, etc. We need go
back, not forward.
Either that, or put it all on a plate if you're eating in. No need
to wrap burger and fries separatly.
Fats Food joints (the biggest offenmder) do not offer plates nor
silver ware. Styro boxes and plastic sporks and knives - at best.
I know, it's a thought but will probably never happen.

There is a corn based (form of corn starch) styrofoam now that breaks
down fairly rapidly as I understand. If I remember reading rightly,
it's a lot more environmentally friendly than even paper in its break down.
I have a bag of biodegradable packing peanuts in the corner of the
room. They're left over from when I shipped one of my surplus
confusers to our esteemed moderator.
We tend to accumulate those--and bubble wrap, then purge the supply
every so often. Packing pillows are usually popped (G), then the
plastic goes into the trash can.
Rosh Hashanah begins on 25 September. Happy New Year!
Mazel tov!

True dat.

I keep a small supply of the "small bubble" bubble wrap. The large
bubble stuff and the popped pillows go into the recyclyng bins with
the plastic grocery/tote bags to be taken to one of the stipormarkups which maintain a collection point for such. I try to keep the
"forever" plastics out of our landfills.

IIRC, Long John Silver's does use plates, as does Zaxby's. The latter
are a recyclable plastic, don't remember the LJS ones.
We recycle quite a bit--usually have more in the recycle bin than the regular trash. Wake Forest picks both up on a weekly basis--and, IIRC, does take all kinds of plastic, but not styrofoam.

They use an equivalent of the Chi-Net paper/cardboard plate. My usual order at LJS comes in one of those pasteboard "boats"

My recycle collection trucks have bins for clear glass, coloured
glass, paper/cardboard and plastic. I asked once when I was recycling
some soda cans about lumping plastic in one category. The lady told me they sort
it into four types (didn't say what types) when the truck unloads.

It has been a few years since we were at a LJS's. IIRC, last time we
went was on our way home from an R-Pod rally in KY, October of 2018.
Steve had to verify that the coating on the fish had no corn meal in it before we ordered--yes, it was safe for him.

Everything goes into the truck and they separate it out at the
unloading site. We have to put stuff in loose, no bags as plastic bags tend to get caught in the sorter's teeth.

Long John's batter is a pretty good example of a tempura batter. But
stay away from those hush puppies if there's a problem w/corn. Or you could carry benadryl. Bv)=

No such restrictions here. The trucks are compartmented - so I guess
the plastics get handled differently from glass and metal.

As I understand what the town puts out here, the recycling goes to a
place where it's all dumped onto one big belt, then sorted as it goes
down the line. I can see where lightweight plastic bags might get
thrown into the air, then sucked into the sorter's teeth, stopping the line until they were detangled.

I asked at the Lake Area Disposal headquarters yesterday when I took a couple bags of crushed soda cans in. I was told that they had tried
the all-in-one and sort it method but the compartmented trucks and
doing
the sorting at the curbside worked best for them.
They are contracted to the city and part of their deal is to employ workers from various re-hab programs. Sort of a win-win for all. Bv)=
