Single Use Food Service Utensils

Where compostable service utensils are selected, a mechanism for composting should be in use.

Model Packaging Language

When making any large purchase, the purchaser should request packaging and bulk shipment options to limit packaging waste and maximize recycled content.

Reusable Bags

Reusable bags purchased as giveaways must meet specifications in durability and strength, materials used, and print to minimize the environmental impact of this sustainable practice.
