From top left, Mill Valley Refuse Managing Partner Jim Iavarone, Waste Management of Northern California Director of Communications Karen Stern, City of Mill Valley Senior Planner Danielle Staude, ReThink Disposable's Grace Lee and Upstream's Miriam Gordon, are serving on a panel at a Food Business Forum about food waste and packaging for food businesses on Monday Sept. 16, 2-3:30pm at the Mill Valley Community Center.
Whether it's a state law requiring food-serving businesses to compost, the ever-growing list of municipalities banning the use of plastics as to-go food containers – or the overwhelming desire to do everything we can to mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis – food business owners and managers are increasingly interested in best practices on packaging and food waste disposal.

In the interests of educating its members on existing laws and in advance of any new regulations, the Mill Valley Chamber is hosting, with support from Sustainable Mill Valley, City of Mill Valley and Ambatalia's Molly de Vries, a Food Business Forum on Monday, Sept. 16, 2-3:30pm, in the Forest Room of the Mill Valley Community Center (180 Camino Alto).

The event, which builds on de Vries' successful Mt. Tam EcoFest in June, features a panel of experts across the spectrum of waste disposal, composting, recycling and reuse. They include:
  • Upstream's Miriam Gordon, who will serve as moderator of the event.
  • Mill Valley Refuse Service Managing Partner Jim Iavarone
  • Waste Management of Northern California Director of Communications (and Marin native) Karen Stern
  • City of Mill Valley Senior Planner & Sustainability Coordinator Danielle Staude
  • ReThink Disposable's Grace Lee

Don’t miss this second forum especially crafted for food businesses. Bring your questions, comments and concerns. It will be a fantastic opportunity to learn, not just from the experts, but from your peers. 

The event will feature plenty of time for food business owners to express their concerns with the ability to get answers from the people most informed on the subject and who are immersed in the details of these issues every day.

​Good Earth Natural Foods is graciously providing light snacks. BYOB(ottle) to fill up at the event.
