San Francisco launched a program Friday which provided 200 restaurants with money to transition away from single-use foodware.
SF Environment said the switch to reusables cuts a restaurant's costs by eliminating the need to continuously buy single-use foodware and lowering refuse rates.
"Our restaurants are the heart and soul of San Francisco," said Tyrone Jue, Acting Director of SF Environment."By going green and saving with reusables, this program proves that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand." The program builds off a pilot program launched in 2019, which supported 120 businesses as they switched to reusable dining systems. Environmental officials said the program"achieved remarkable financial and environmental results," with 90 percent of program participants saying that they will continue to use reusables after the program.
Breed said the program coincides with the city's goal to reduce solid waste 15 percent below 2015 levels by 2030. "We all share the responsibility to advance our goals for climate health and resiliency, and while San Francisco leads the nation in sustainability, there's still a lot of work we must do," Breed said.
