Greener fast food cutlery and dishes

Fast food places and sidewalk hot dog stands etc., which I think do a fair amount of "regular customer" business, should offer a discount to customers who bring their own cup and bowl.Objections will be raised about hygiene and practicality. The food could be passed to them via a spatula which never touches their bowl-plate. Rather it is deftly slid from under the hamburger or whatever and drops onto the plate. They could also sell an inexpensive beautiful rugged ceramic cup.bowl/plate and cutlery kit with lock-on lids for bowl and cup.

Japan has those awesome lacquer bento boxes. Anybody know if those are re-used somehow? If so, how do they clean them enough.for public health.
