Meet Chloe, working in Minnesota to reduce single use disposable plastics and save businesses money by helping businesses make the switch to resusable foodware!
The “correct” use of melamine foodware requires that the dish not be heated above 160 degrees. When food is served on melamine plates there is relatively low cross contamination from the plate to the food. However, once you put that plate in the microwave, you’re immediately pushing past that safety zone.
We can reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfills, incinerators and the ocean by holding plastics manufacturers responsible for the entire lifecycle of the products they create, including their disposal.
Clean Water Fund’s ReThink Disposable program has been awarded a NOAA Marine Debris Pollution Prevention Grant to launch ReThink Disposable in 6 of our Clean Water Action offices along the East Coast and the Great Lakes.
