Styrofoam To Plastic
AH, PB, NB Logical Plan Project
Styrofoam Lunch Trays
Reasoning and Benefits
We chose this change because our resources are wasted every day when people purchase their lunches and throw their unused trays away.
It will benefit West because we are changing styrofoam into reusable plastic trays which will save us money from constantly purchasing styrofoam ones. With the styrofoam trays however, we can send them to be recycled in the necessary specialized facilities.
Pollution
Americans throw away 25 billion styrofoam coffee cups every year without thinking of the damage it will do to our world.
Costs
Each day we spend 20 dollars only for the trays at west, but if we buy plastic lunch trays we will spend $1,625 for all the students for more than 2 years. Over time, it will save us money.
Styrofoam Trays
Paper, cardboard, yard clippings and recyclables, can be reduced by simply bringing reusables like plastic lunch trays. Which is miraculous because styrofoam is the fifth largest producer of toxic.
