In 2021, The PLEDGE launched a pilot project in partnership with Make Food Not Waste, a Detroit Metro Area non-profit, to help area restaurants eliminate hidden sources of food waste and implement long-lasting practices for waste prevention. 7 restaurants were certified in June 2023 and are the 1st in the U.S. to get certified for The PLEDGE.  

The project was made possible with funding from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as outreach support from Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
