As we've continued to grow, Open Hand has become increasingly aware of the impact we make: not just on the lives of our clients, but on the environment.

In honor of Earth Day, we're celebrating one of the big ways we've curbed our impact: every part of our meal packaging is recyclable!

  • Cardboard, clean plastic trays, and film are #1 plastics, and may be picked up via curbside recycling.
  • Every box is lined with an insulated panel so our meals stay cold. Each insulated panel will melt under water or can be used as compost after removing it from the plastic sleeve.
  • The plastic sleeve that the insulated panel comes with can be recycled with plastic shopping bags.

We believe these efforts not only help us better serve the planet, but also our clients. And as we expand, we look forward to even more opportunity to innovate for the health of Georgia and its people!
