Ready to cut costs and waste at your restaurant?

Free assistance is available from the ReThink Disposable team to assess your business’s current use of disposable food service ware (e.g., cups, plates, condiment cups, utensils) and discuss reusable alternatives which can reduce waste and save money.

ReThink Disposable will work with your business to select appropriate reusable food service ware products and financially assist by buying these items for you to replace single-use food ware purchases (on a first come, first served basis and while funds remain available). Other restaurants participating in this program have saved thousands of dollars per year with a payback period of just a few months, even after accounting for dishwashing and other cost impacts.
