By the end of 2016, Panera has an initiative to remove all unnatural ingredients from their foods. This is great news. Yet they still use an overwhelming amount of single-use plastic for utensils, drink cups, drink straws, drink lids, gloves instead of tongs and more - but there are no recycling options for paper or plastic. It is not cost-prohibitive for a large company to absorb the cost to recycle. When they don't recycle, they are simply transferring the cost of current and future clean-up to others.
