Conserve energy and water OR Conserve Energy and Cut Greenhouse gas emissions
We have implemented a training program for all front line staff. Also, onsite there is regular review / training with staff to help reduce wasteful practices (e.g. closing vestibule doors; reporting leaky faucets; equipment scheduling and maintenance; thawing items previous day to avoid running under warm water etc.). We preferentially purchase Energy Star certified kitchen equipment when available and/or equipment that is designed to reduce energy and water usage.
Green cleaning
ARAMARK has been a long-term partner with Eco Lab, a supplier of cleaning products. We are proud to be a supporter and user of their newest program and product line, EcoLogic, which supports environmentally responsible cleaning. The EcoLogic Product Line provides “green” product alternatives in ware washing, laundry, and housekeeping applications. The program promotes a healthier and cleaner environment by utilizing products that help prevent toxic pollution and waste, conserve resources and habitats, and minimize global warming and ozone depletion. A number of these products have been awarded Green Seal certification. For many of the cleaning products we use, we have transitioned to their greener alternatives and we continue to expand this program.
Support local farmers
ARAMARK partners with our Local Produce Suppliers from coast to coast to help us identify and preferentially order local produce when available. We continue to expand and develop new programs for sourcing foods that are grown/raised/processed locally, as well as those food items that are also grown/raised/processed in a responsible sustainable manner. We are also expanding programs for natural and organic food sourcing.
Recycling & Composting
Across our food service locations we have comprehensive recycling programs that help divert waste including aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and cooking oil for new uses. Please help us divert as much waste from landfill as possible by using the appropriate bins.
Biodegradable & recyclable packaging
Although we encourage students to dine in using reusable service ware whenever available, when take out is a must, biodegradable packaging is an environmentally preferred alternative. In support of a greener packaging program, we are introducing biodegradable service ware into our operations. Made from annually renewable natural resources including sugar cane, wild reed, bamboo and corn, this line of take-out ware can be composted, uses less energy and water to produce, and will biodegrade faster than their more persistent counter parts. Now you can feel great about what you eat and what you eat it on!
Meal Plan Privileges?
Are you tired of carrying cash on campus? Do you hate carrying change to buy your Tim Hortons coffee every morning? Would you like to have money set aside for all your meals during the school year?
Do you want to be sure that your son or daughter has enough money for food while they are away from home and that your money is going towards food? Then the Meal Plan is the answer.
How Does the Meal Plan Work?
If you have a Meal Plan with a set number of meals at the Fresh Food Company it works like a pass at an all-you-care-to-eat buffet.
Example: If you have a 12 meals per week Meal Plan, you have 12 swipes, or 12 times you can enter the Fresh Food Company. Thus, if you swipe your card, 1 meal will be subtracted from the total and you will be left with 11 meals for the remainder of the week. The 12 meals reset every Monday morning. Once you enter you are able to eat and sample as much as you like.
Flex dollars or declining balance Meal Plans work similar to a debit card, each time you make a purchase the total cost of your meal is subtracted from the dollar balance on your account until depleted.
Where can I use the Meal Plan?
The Meal Plan is accepted at all ARAMARK operated Food Service locations on campus and includes our franchise operations (Tim Horton's, Chicken Chicken, Pizza Pizza etc.).
