Waste
Waste Reduction Practices
Share My Meals provides meals in reusable containers to avoid packaging waste. These containers (either 1/2 pan catering trays or jars) are used by food donors to provide meals that are delivered to food-insecure people in communities throughout NJ. These containers are then recovered, sanitized, and reused.
