Fueling A Sustainable Future
We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action, because we believe that creating a better world for generations to come starts today.
Working Toward Zero Waste
We proudly support the sustainability goals of Hood College. Here are a few active initiatives.
Reusable Containers
We promote reusable containers to guests in Coblentz Dining Hall when taking meals to go. This supports campus sustainability efforts while offering a convenient, eco‑friendly option.
Collaborative Composting
We work with Key City Composting to collect organic materials—including food waste and compostable service items such as napkins and wooden stir sticks—to be composted into usable, nutrient-rich soil amendments.
Proactive Prevention
We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.
