Utensil Set

The story of To-Go Ware began back in 1997 over a dish of ice cream in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

To-Go Ware's founder, Stephanie Bernstein, was then a college student, watching as “to-go” culture began to explode and find its way into the practices of local businesses. After enjoying some ice-cream “for-here” with friends, she found it disturbing that even though she had not left the establishment, she had still been served in “to-go” plastic, and was expected to throw away her dish and spoon. Inspired by the college students who diligently carried their reusable coffee mugs around with them, she believed you could encourage people to expand this practice and use more durable, reusable methods for food as well as beverage, allowing for on-the-go convenience while remaining responsible citizens of planet Earth.

Stephanie began envisioning ways to promote these products and tools, trying to determine what designs would provide the utmost functionality and ease. She spent years in the Natural Products industry, food service and wellness fields and all informed the development of To-Go Ware. Now, years later, watching these products and concepts come to fruition has never seemed more urgent, as we are all needing tools to become Solutionaries as our world faces many challenges ecologically.
