Dear John, When we ask companies not to use single-use plastic because it is toxic to human health, pollutes the environment, and contributes to the climate crisis, the first question they ask is what are they supposed to use instead? Now there is a tool that makes answering that question much easier. The Understanding Packaging (UP) Scorecard is a new online resource to help concert and sports venues, restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, and other businesses choose the most sustainable packaging for serving food and drinks.
Understanding Packaging Scorecard Launch Event

The UP Scorecard measures commonly used
foodware and food packaging like cold cups, bottles, take-out containers, utensils, and more with a single yardstick, making ranking and comparison easy. Scores are provided for plastic pollution, chemicals of concern, climate impact, water use, sustainable sourcing, and recoverability. This is a game changer in reducing and quantifying the impact of the materials businesses choose. Please join us to learn more at the online launch event
for the UP Scorecard on Thursday, August 19th at 9-10 am PT, 12-1 pm ET. Find your local time.
We hope to see you there!
