Common Questions
1. Are items really clean?
Yes. Every item is washed and sanitized in our certified facility to meet or exceed Department of Health standards. Learn more about Re:Dish's cleaning process.
2. Are Re:Dish's reusables safe and durable?
All Re:Dish items are BPA-free, NSF-certified, FDA-approved, and designed for hundreds of uses. They are strong, stackable, and built for busy school cafeterias. At end-of-life, items are recycled into new products to prevent landfill waste.
3. What about the environmental impact of washing and transport?
Independent lifecycle analysis confirms that reusables outperform disposables and compostables in every major category. Read our LCA report.
