BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION
In summer of 2018, Campus Dining announced a plan to join in a campaign with the
United Nations Environment Programme to dramatically reduce the amount of plastic
used in our operations. Our year-end employee celebrations in June are completely free of single-use disposable plastic.
•Plastic water bottles have been replaced with aluminum cans from a Climate Neutral Certified and Women Owned company.
•Plastic bags have been replaced by paper bags and will only be available upon request.
•Plastic straws have been eliminated and paper straws will only be available upon
request.
•Plastic utensils replaced by compostable utensils.
These are the first steps in a long-term commitment to #BeatPlasticPollution.
