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.
Recycling & Composting program
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!

This certification means the coffee you are drinking was purchased from a registered International Fair Trade Coffee farm. We also offer organic coffees and fair trade organic coffee blends.
