*Estimates assume one meal per student, per day. Many districts serve breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks — and because the savings recur with every meal, each additional meal served compounds your annual savings well beyond what's shown here.

Estimate assumptions: 180 school days/year · disposable baseline of $0.21/meal (tray + 2 utensils); reusable baseline assumes ~$7/tray replaced on a ~2-year cycle plus ~10%/yr from breakage and wear
Package sizing assumes ~1.3 full place settings per student for on-site washing (owned or rented) and ~3 per student for offsite washing. A place setting is 1 tray, 1 fork, and 1 spoon — trays and utensils scale together, because the whole set cycles through washing and you need extras in rotation while some are being cleaned · 2026 Ahimsa list pricing, tiered by quantity
Figures are directional estimates, not a formal quote. Dishwasher and offsite costs vary by site and location. Shipping is an estimate only. Shipping estimate based on average shipping costs of varying order sizes and delivery locations. Actual shipping costs will be provided during formal quote process.
