To-Go Ware offers conscious choice products and solutions in order to stimulate green and positive practices for our planet. Their mission is to encourage participation of everyday people in the process of changing and improving the world we live in.

To-Go Ware is all about reducing the amount of things people throw away when they are eating on-the-go: reusable utensils, food-carriers and mostly things that are not made of plastic. They carry a line of reusable bamboo utensils and stainless steel lunch boxes made in India.

To-Go Ware supports environmental projects related to human rights, sustainable economies and transparency throughout the world. They work with nonprofit organizations such as WEAVE (Women’s Education for Advancement and Empowerment). This NGO works with a group of refugee women who live on the Thai-Burma border. WEAVE’s main objective is to provide education and training for displaced women, as well as self-managing and self-sustaining for themselves. They make a line of cotton goods, and produce the To-Go Ware utensil set. The idea of this toolkit is to help reduce our ecological footprints and our wasteful habits. These organic utensils are made of bamboo. Purchasing them encourages not only the environment, but also the advancement and the empowerment of a women’s cooperative.

The To-Go Ware RePEat Utensil set is another type of utensil kit that was designed to support the fight against cancer. Their campaign Together we can “beet” brest cancer donates 10% of the purchased price of To-Go Ware’s beet-colored RePEaT utensil sets sold on To-Go Ware’s web site to Breast Cancer Fund. The utensil holders are made of recycled PET plastic and give a new life to plastic bottles.

These types of initiatives from To-Go Ware’s business are definitely fresh and meaningful. They combine people’s lives with environment and social projects.
