We work together to continually develop and implement sustainable solutions. Through Green Thread, our environmental sustainability platform, we bring innovative and efficient solutions to life. We are passionately focused on reducing the environmental impact within our operations.
Here are just a few ways we work to make our campus more environmentally conscious:
Recycling
Dining Services partners with campus to recycle all cardboard and used cooking oil from all dining locations across campus. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Look for signs in our locations for information on where to put your recyclables.
Reusables
Take part in our reusable mug program to reduce waste and receive a discount on fountain beverages and coffee in any South Alabama Dining dining location.
Reusable To-Go Containers
Getting your meal to go from the Fresh Food Company? Take part in our Reusable To-Go Container program. Here's how it works: get your resuable to-go with a deposit of $5 and exchange it for a clean one whenever it needs cleaning.
Recycled Content Paper
We use 100% recycled content office and copy paper in all dining locations on campus.
LEED Certification
The Fresh Food Company is a LEED silver certified facility.
Energy & Water Conservation
We train our employees each semester on common energy and water conservation practices in order to conserve precious natural resources.
