About MNimize

MNimize is a campaign that recognizes and supports Minnesota food service businesses reducing disposable plastic. Launched by Waste Wise and Hennepin County, the program is now available to food service businesses within Hennepin County interested in cutting single-use plastic. MNimize provides free one-on-one support to identify reduction opportunities, connect with resources, and replace disposables with reusable or certified compostable alternatives — plus a $1,000 rebate to help make the switch.
