Minnesota reusables coalition

The Minnesota Reusables Coalition (MRC) develops and supports infrastructure, policies, and partnerships to advance reusable foodware and packaging systems within the state of Minnesota.

Vision

Reusable and refillable foodware and packaging flourishes as a cultural norm, replacing current single-use systems. Minnesotans of all demographics understand the benefits of reuse compared to single-use and know where and how to utilize reusables.

Goals

  • Identify infrastructure needs and pursue opportunities to secure resources for enabling widespread and diverse reuse systems.
  • Advocate for policies that support and reduce barriers to the use of reusables in foodservice operations.
  • Build collaborative partnerships between public and private stakeholders to amplify reuse systems.
