Resources for Restaurants
We at CCAPP realize that replacing plastic is a huge undertaking, especially when you have a business to keep afloat, health standards to uphold, and employees to pay. Fortunately, there are many likeminded people who have created resources for the food industry.
We are open to having conversations about what you as a restaurant owner or employee can do to reduce your impact on the environment. Please do not hesitate to reach out and we can hopefully point you in the right direction!

Beyond Plastic’s Restaurant Guide
Beyond Plastics has created a guide for restaurant owners and people working in the food industry who wish to reduce their plastic use.
The guide is free and contains practical advice, tools, resources (including funding resources), and case studies.
Plastic Free Restaurants
PFR is a non-profit that supplies restaurants and schools with plastic-free alternatives. You can apply for funding, or donate to support their subsidization of businesses. Right now they have only worked with businesses and schools on the West Coast and a handful in the Northeast - but they are open to applicants from all over the country.
