StopWaste is helping food businesses in Alameda County switch to dine-in reusables with mini-grants and support from the ReUse Assist Program by Environmental Innovations. Here’s how it works:
We provide the incentive
We will buy up to $500 worth of reusable foodware to help you make the switch. No complicated paperwork or reimbursement steps.
We handle research, purchasing, and delivery
We will work with you to select the right foodware for your needs, then manage the ordering and getting it to your door.
You gain the benefits
Save money by eliminating ongoing costs of single-use items, improve customer experience with high-quality foodware, and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability by reducing plastic waste.
It’s safe
Reusable plates, cups, utensils, and other food service items are approved for use by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health. Learn more.
