 Foodware Facts
When you're drinking that wonderful free coffee, we hope it's in a reusable mug!
Picking the right food and service ware is important whether you're in the food service industry or just hosting meetings and events. The first step is to look for opportunities to reduce disposable foodware, and where that is not possible, to choose the products you buy wisely. This toolkit will help you take the first steps and learn how others have saved money through lower waste fees.
Also be aware that Baltimore City, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County and Washington, D.C. have all passed bans on expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. Foam food packaging is a major component of litter in Maryland’s waterways and absorbs pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals that increase exposure to aquatic life. Once EPS foam enters the environment, it is difficult to get out, so making every effort to reduce waste and procure environmentally preferable products is the way to go.
