Emeryville Elementary School & Center for Environmental Health – Taking the Plastic out of School Lunches

Taking the Plastic out of School Lunches

What if your kid’s school lunch didn’t come with piles of disposable trays and packaging?

At Emeryville Elementary School, the Center for Environmental Health helped launch a reusable lunch program using stainless steel trays, keeping more than 50,000 disposable items out of landfills each year while reducing students’ exposure to harmful chemicals often found in single-use foodware.
