Subway slims salad bowls to reduce enviro impact

摘要

Isn't it interesting how a simple change can lead to big gains in conserving resources? Such was the case recently when sandwich chain Subway began turning its efforts toward a healthier environment. With the help of thermoformer, PWP Industries, Subway slimmed down its plastic salad bowls and lids from 10 to 9 in. dia, yet the new containers still hold the same 32-oz amount of salad. The container materials were also changed from OPS to PET resin, combined with 10-percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
