Community Partnership

The goal of FPI’s Community Partnership program is to add a suite of foodservice packaging to curbside recycling and/or composting programs in vetted communities. Success in partner communities can provide model programs and lay the foundation for greater acceptance in curbside programs nationwide.

What We Provide

As part of adding foodservice packaging to a recycling and/or composting program, FPI will:

  • conduct outreach to stakeholders, e.g. materials recovery facilities, haulers, end markets, composters and communities;

  • collect data on stream composition and other program parameters before and after the launch; and

  • develop a strong communications component to complement the education and outreach efforts of the chosen community.

Selected partner communities are also eligible for grant funding to assist with educating residents on the additions to the program. This provides a great opportunity to refresh education on what should be recycled/composted.


Selection Process

Communities are selected for the program following a robust screening and vetting process. This ensures partner communities have the resources in place to successfully recover foodservice packaging, from collection to processing and viable end markets.
