Reusable Service Ware Pilot Program

The City of Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency awarded a $105,000 contract to Diversion Designers, LLC to run a pilot program that helps local food establishments transition from disposable to reusable on‑site dining ware. The vendor will provide technical assistance, resources, and impact analysis for 25‑50 establishments over a twelve‑month period, measuring waste reduction, cost savings, and payback periods. This effort supports Denver’s broader climate and sustainability goals by reducing single‑use packaging in the food service sector. • Funding: Up to $105,000 for a 12‑month engagement. • Scope: Technical assistance, resource provisioning, and impact measurement for 25–50 food establishments. • Outcome: Quantified waste reduction, cost savings, and reusable‑ware adoption metrics.
