Single-use plastic items are popular in food service businesses due to their convenience, but these items lead to pollution and continual expenses. The free MNimize program assists food service businesses in switching to single-use plastic alternatives, such as compostable or reusable items.

A $1,000 MNimize rebate is available for reimbursing the purchase of eligible items. Participating businesses will earn a MNimize Medal and be added to the map of MNimize businesses. Email hello@mnimize.org to learn more and schedule a visit. Translation services are available.
