WASTE REDUCTION
We do not use polystyrene foam (Styrofoam). Our full-scale recycling program includes the separation and processing of cardboard, glass, metal, plastic as well as a pre and post consumer waste composting program, and grease recycling.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
We are using the latest in Warewashing technology, which utilizes non-caustic chemistry and 95% less packaging material (and, therefore, transportation) than bulkier liquid detergents. 60% of our cleaning products are either Green Seal Certified or meet the Green Restaurant Association's strict standards.

DISPOSABLES
We use 100% recycled Bath tissue. 50% post-consumer waste, chlorine free office paper. In addition, our parchment paper is chlorine and wax free, and soon we will be switching our 35% recycled menu paper to 100% recycled paper — printed with vegetable inks.
ELIMINATION OF BOTTLED WATER
As an environmentally friendly alternative to the waste associated with the manufacturing, transport and disposal of conventional bottled water, we installed a filtering and carbonizing water system and discontinued using bottled water. The system is a countertop machine that triple-carbon filters and UV sterilizes water, which we then serve in reusable carafes (which don't end up in a landfill).
