Earthware Reusables is a Foresight 50 2023 Honouree
Zero Waste Takeout
Earthware is a high-growth return-for-reuse takeout container service. Earthware's business model will disrupt the $160B takeout container industry. Billions of food takeout containers go into our landfills every year. Earthware is a return-for-reuse takeout container service that eliminates this problem. Providers like restaurants, grocery stores, farms, and many others replace their single-use containers with Earthware reusable containers, at a lower cost. They pack all takeout meals in Earthware and charge a small deposit per container. Consumers can retrieve that deposit by returning Earthware containers to bottle depots. Depots then return those containers to Earthware, where we inspect, wash, and sanitize them for resale back to Earthware providers.
Why our venture should be considered one of Canada’s 50 most investable cleantech companies:
Success to us is continuously adding new cities to the Earthware platform. This success will result in the elimination of millions of single-use containers per day that would have ended up in our landfills. Our platform will eventually allow major packaged goods companies to finally be able to get their packaging back, cleaned, and ready to use again. The platform will also pay millions of dollars a day in micro payments (deposit returns) to many of our most vulnerable citizens. Our wash facilities will be staffed primarily by people who find it difficult to find careers because of disabilities. Our passionate group is headed by a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold multinational companies.
