Save Money, Make Customers Happy, and Help the Planet
The City is cutting back on single-use plastics — and we’d love your help! One of the best ways restaurants and cafés can join in is by switching from throw-away items to reusables.
Through mini-grants, we’re offering up to $400 worth of reusable foodware to help your business make the switch. This includes items like plates, cups and utensils.
Why It Matters
Disposable items like plastic forks, cups and plates are used for just a few minutes before being tossed. Most can’t be recycled, and they often end up in landfills or polluting our streets and waterways.
By using reusables, your business helps reduce waste and protect the environment.
What’s in It for You?
Reusable foodware can save your business money.
Restaurants in our pilot program saved $1,600 to $18,300 a year.
Other benefits:
- Customers notice and appreciate the change
- Food looks better when served on real dishes
- Your business gets a sustainable image
