Did you know that over 3 billion single-use cardboard pizza boxes end up in the waste stream each year? Well, you can be sure that plenty of ice cream cartons are piling up next to them, and that’s why MudLab, Oakland’s zero-waste café and grocery store, is fighting back with ways to buy two local favorites, ice cream from Koolfi Creamery and Detroit-style* pan pizza from Square Pie Guys packaged in reusable containers. These pilot programs are being developed thanks to support from StopWaste.
