Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Engagement Session
2026-04-14 10:00 - 12:00 | PHMC, 4601 Market Street, Philadlephia, PA, United States
Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Toolkit and Engagement Event
April 14, 2026

Philly Unwrapped: Cut Waste. Cut Costs. Protect Public Health and Local Vulnerable Communities.

Philadelphia spends millions every year managing waste.

Almost nothing prevents it.

At the same time, food and beverage businesses are required to purchase single-use packaging that increases operating costs and contributes to pollution that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities where waste is processed and incinerated.

There may be a better, less wasteful way — and it saves money and protects public health.

Philly Unwrapped is bringing together restaurant owners, cafés, caterers, corner stores, food trucks, event venues, hospitality operators, community leaders, and public officials to explore practical waste prevention strategies that work in Philadelphia.

What This Is
Join ECHO Systems, The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia, Rethink Disposable’s Clean Water Fund and Trash Academy in this informative and engaging community event.

Learn How to Use the Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Toolkit — a free, practical resource designed specifically for local food-sector businesses.

Case studies show that businesses implementing reuse and waste prevention strategies save between $3,000–$22,000 annually, while reducing trash volume, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening customer loyalty.

Attendees will be able to join a funding consortium to demonstrate business need and interest in supporting a just transition toward reuse and waste prevention.

This event includes a community listening session. We want to hear directly from residents and business owners about concerns, barriers, and opportunities as we work to attract funding and build a just transition.

Who Should Attend

Restaurant, café, and food truck owners
Caterers and event operators
Corner store and grocery operators
Hospitality managers
Community leaders and residents
Institutions and neighborhood organizations

We warmly invite City Councilmembers, local representatives, community development corporations, business improvement districts, and neighborhood organizations to join this conversation. Advancing waste prevention presents an opportunity to strengthen fiscal stewardship, support local businesses, and protect public health — and we look forward to working together to explore what that can look like for Philadelphia.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Clear, implementable cost-saving strategies
Access to the free Philly-specific Toolkit
Early information about upcoming grant opportunities and how to participate in the funding consortium
Connections to a growing network of local businesses and partners
An opportunity to help shape future funding and policy priorities

This is not a lecture. It’s a practical working session focused on real-world solutions.

*Please note if you do not have a smart phone, we can group up and take turns!

Why should I join?

And finally, we are contributing to the 2026 City Nature Challenge where cities around the world collaborate to share observations of nature!

Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a curious beginner, all are welcome to participate in this accessible, engaging, educational experience. Spaces are limited so RSVP to learn more about the urban wildlife in your neighborhood!

Please note: The BioBlitz will coincide with the West Philly Craft Fest, so parking won’t be available on-site. Visitors must park in the surrounding neighborhood, but The Woodlands is easily accessible by public transit, with the 40th Street Trolley Portal right across from the gates.
