Re:Dish is a New York-based reuse company that replaces single-use foodservice containers and cups with a full-service reusable dishware program. Through its 'Reuse as a Service' model, Re:Dish delivers reusables, collects them daily, sanitizes them at a high-capacity Brooklyn warewashing facility washing up to 75,000 units a day, and tracks the environmental impact through its DishTrack software. Founded by serial entrepreneur Caroline Vanderlip in 2020, it serves corporate cafeterias, schools, hospitals, arenas and production sets, tackling the roughly one trillion single-use foodservice items thrown away in the US each year.
