What's compostable and recyclable in Portland? Most plastic containers currently end up in the landfill, and "compostable" containers can't be composted by Portland Metro--- they require high-heat processing centers and will only contaminate your compost bin. Only cardboard pizza boxes can go into the compost. You can put rinsed aluminum foil and round plastic soup containers (but not lids) into your blue recycling bin.

- We are a zero waste restaurant! Our to-go packaging primarily consists of waxed paper and non-polycoated paper boxes. We use glass jars for pantry items like our bone broth. There is, however, a supply chain shortage for mason jars, and as a result we use standard deli containers for some pantry items, made from PP plastic. The containers we use are standard sized, washable and reusable. We hope that our customers are able to use the containers for food storage in their own pantry.

- We serve our ginger and wasabi sometimes in plastic to go containers. So if someone wanted a plastic free order they should specify that they want ginger and wasabi in our paper containers. Also we use soy packets for our take out orders so it’s helpful if the customer has their own. Miso soup, fish roe, and creamy Scallops also come in a container with a plastic lid as well.
