I've been trying to figure out how to do it myself. The biggest barrier here is the social/cultural one. I think my husband would die of embarassment if I reached into my purse to pull out a Tupperware to bring home my food. You know where they could start it off? Any sort of natural foods restaurant. Today I was at Whole Foods and everyone is sitting there eating out of disposable plastic containers. I guess the other big issue is having the capacity to wash the containers once you receive them back (if they go back to the restaurant). I love the idea.

People bring them from home or stop into street vendors and have them filled up. Of course here in the US, we're a little anal about cleanliness and keeping things ultra warm or cold, which they don't do there. Of course they dont use much mayo or dairy in their food other than fermented milks and fresh milk in chai. Not sure how that all would work with tuna or egg salad or even burgers with "special sauce" if you plsn to to casrry it with you for a few hours before you eat it... Still they have a whole cultural model of the fast food carry out container that's worth looking at.
