— August 5, 2020 — Eco
A new reusable takeout container program launched in Toronto on February 21st, 2020. The initiative is focused on creating a zero-waste future for the dynamic city's restaurant industry.

Participant businesses are stocked with Wisebox' reusable takeout container. Customers can rent it for a $5 CAD deposit and later receive a refund for this when returning the box. What makes it even more worth it, aside from being more mindful of consumption and the environment, Wisebox also has a loyalty program where customers can receive up to 15 % off discount on each meal ordered in a reusable container.

Wisebox also offers some flexibility to consumers as it allows them to pick up the containers at one location and return it to another participating location. in the Downtown Toronto area.
