Items with increased durability that allow multiple uses for various applications, such as plastic takeout containers, are included.
Excluded from the scope of this report are the following: disposable items used for the preparation of food or beverages that do not reach the customer or end user; disposable cleaning and maintenance supplies; prepackaged food or beverage items that are not filled at the foodservice establishment, such as prepackaged condiment cups, beverage bottles, pouches of apple slices, chips, or cookies, or similar items; toys or other promotional items; carryout bags; and reusable bags, trash bags, and grocery bags.
For any given historical year, US dollar amounts are obtained from values expressed in the applicable local currency. These local currency values are converted to US dollars at the average annual exchange rate for that year. For forecast years, the US dollar amounts assume the same annual exchange rate as that prevailing in 2023.
