Turning the Tide on Single Use Plastics: Perpetual Gains Support for its Model with $2M+ in EPA Funding

Perpetual’s unique model to replace single use plastics with an ecosystem of reusable materials got a big boost in the form of two grants totaling more than $2 million from the EPA to Perpetual’s municipal partners in Hilo Hawai’i. Perpetual’s pilot in Hilo is one of four currently being run to demonstrate how medium-sized cities can replace their reliance on single use plastic with a reusable approach to food containers.
