"I noticed Eeerkin’s Uyghur Cuisine is one of the restaurants signed up for the To Go Green pilot, receiving reusable containers at a low per-use cost to reduce takeout packaging waste more effectively than bio-based or compostable containers. The program asks patrons to return containers to participating spots, with the founders monitoring inventories and restocking restaurants when necessary; Uber currently handles delivery logistics and the founders aim to integrate the containers with all delivery services across the DMV in the future." - Emily Venezky
