About Clean Plate Club

Empowering communities to make healthier choices, one container at a time

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves to know what's in their food containers. Plastic containers can leach harmful chemicals into your food, especially when heated or used with oily, acidic foods.

Clean Plate Club builds transparency around container safety and supports restaurants making the switch to safer options. We're creating a community-driven platform where every rating helps protect public health.

Fair & Transparent Ratings

Science-backed criteria with real-time impact

Objective Assessment
Our ratings are based on objective container assessment—materials used and food characteristics—not subjective opinions. We use science-backed criteria to evaluate container safety.
  • Material type (fiber, plastic, paper)
  • Food characteristics (hot, oily, acidic)
  • Chemical leaching risk assessment
Recency-Weighted
Restaurant ratings are recency-weighted, so establishments can improve their score immediately by switching to safer containers. Recent reports have more impact than old ones.

This means restaurants can:

  • •See immediate rating improvements
  • •Demonstrate their commitment to safety
  • •Build customer trust through action
