Cutlery / Utensils

Reusables

Where applicable, serve guests with non-toxic reusable cutlery or provide reusables at self-serve stations.

Work with venue management to streamline collection of dirty utensils with dishware, or work with professional reuse contractor on collection and washing.

COVID Tip: Serve cutlery wrapped in a napkin to avoid unnecessary plastic packaging. 

Disposables

When reusables are not applicable, choose disposable options that are compatible with available waste management infrastructure.

Approved disposable materials include wooden and bamboo options. 

Implement a protocol to only offer single-use utensils upon request.

Fill existing dispensers with wooden or bamboo cutlery rather than single-use plastic cutlery.

Sell reusable cutlery kits as merch!

COVID Tip: Install contactless cutlery dispensers.
