Grow in Action

IMPLEMENTATION OF AN IDEA

Knowing that everyone grows differently, Grow™ is designed to be a flexible menu of sustainbility initiatives from which our clients can select those items that are the right fit for their operation.

A large portion of the Grow™ program involves Earth Friendly items. Creative Dining Services' initiatives in this category include:

  • Alternative disposable serviceware: full lines of utensils and containers constructed from renewable sources such as corn, potatoes, Bambu™, and 100% biodegradable Envrioware™.
  • Paper Products: non-bleached post-consumer recyclable products for tabletop, rest rooms and housekeeping
  • Rainforest and Fair Trade Organic Alliance Coffees and Teas
  • LEED™ Hospitality Design
  • LEED™ Accredited Professional kitchen and Servery Design
  • Sourcing of EnergyStar™ Kitchen equipment and sustainable materials, aiding in LEED™ qualifying points.
  • Green Seal™ approved chemicals
  • 100% recycled garbage bags
  • On-site recycling programs
  • Utilizing paper-free business communication whenever possible.

 

     
  Did you know: 
Eighty-four percent of a typical household's waste—including food scraps, yard waste, paper, cardboard, cans, and bottles—can be recycled.
