Commitment to Sustainability
Food Donation Program
Our food waste is reduced through actively managing our production each day. Any excess food is donated to The Pantry, which serves students in need.
Eco-Friendly Packaging and Cutlery
-
We use recyclable and compostable containers in a majority of our locations.
-
We have eliminated the use of all single-use plastic bags.
-
TSU Food Court and OC Choice Express use biodegradable cutlery to help eliminate single-use plastic items.
Reduce Paper Consumption
We do our best to communicate through mobile apps, e-blasts and other digital signage and social media channels.
Responsible Sourcing
We purchase local, seasonal and responsibly raised, grown and sourced products whenever possible.
Composable Organics Recycling Program
Our Campus Dining operations within the TSU Food Court recycle their organic waste. All food waste is sorted, collected, and disposed of into dedicated food waste containers, and picked up multiple times a week. Recycled items include fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, pastries, pasta, grains, rice, beans, meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish, bone, and egg scraps. By recycling, our operations help reduce landfill methane emissions, combating climate change.
