Action Plan

Transition Your Business

PepsiCo partners can follow this action plan to transition their business to reusable cups and dishware.

  1. Order Reusable Cups & Foodware

    Businesses should stock up 1.5X as many cups and dishware as they will use on an average day. They may need more if they only have dishwashing staff a couple hours a day.

  2. Assess Dishwashing Needs

    Businesses switching to reusables may need to add washing capacity by renting or purchasing a dishwasher.

  3. Order Washing Accessories

    Accessories such as bus tubs, dishracks, and drying racks can help ensure operations run smoothly and efficiently.

  4. Establish Collection

    If consumers dispose of their own waste, return points need to be established and clearly labeled.

  5. Train Staff

    Staff should be educated on why reuse is beneficial and what they can do to help it be successful.

  6. Hang Signage

    Signage can help educate consumers on the benefits of switching to reuse and why the business has made the change.
