Reducing Waste
February 17, 2011
Individuals are becoming more aware of their impact on the environment, and so are we. We're taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint while helping guests in our cafes reduce theirs at the same time. We are in the process of removing heavy styrofoam products from many of our cafes as a first step in this venture. These products not only take up a lot of space in the trash can, they also take an incredibly long time to decompose. We have also helped some of our vending customers find ways to recycle plastic bottles and aluminum cans at their facilities instead of throwing them in the trash can. We are pleased with the improvement thus far, but we are far from finished, and as we implement these current initiatives, we are also researching other ways we can increase sustainability and reduce waste. More to come in the weeks and months ahead.
