Dinnerware Savings Calculator
See what reusable dinnerware could save your facility compared to disposables
This calculator is a research tool — not a quote. Enter your facility's bed count and adjust any inputs to your situation, and it will estimate your annual disposable spending, the cost to transition to reusable JonesZylon dinnerware, and how long it takes for reusables to pay for themselves. Defaults are set to conservative industry averages; the closer your inputs are to your actual costs, the more useful the output.
Use the Copolymer / MaxFlex toggle to compare product lines:
- Copolymer — our standard institutional dinnerware, built for acute care hospitals, long-term care, and senior living. Durable, dishwasher-safe, and the workhorse of high-volume healthcare food service.
- MaxFlex — engineered for behavioral health units, psychiatric facilities, and memory care environments where standard dinnerware poses a safety risk. MaxFlex can't be sharpened, fractured into shards, or used as a weapon. For these environments, the case for reusables isn't just cost — it's eliminating the ongoing overhead of managing and disposing of disposables in a sensitive setting.
