Planetgards Compostable Gloves - a Perfect Fit for Dining Services
In recent years, university hospitality institutions have increasingly turned their focus toward sustainability, highlighting interconnection between global food production, environmental impact, food selections, and student health. This dedication has given rise to various sustainability initiatives, ranging from the localization of food sourcing to the inclusion of plant-forward proteins, all aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting healthier food choices. As institutions prioritize sustainability, they must address the where, the what, and the how: where the food is sourced, what is being eaten, and how food is packaged and distributed within cafeteria settings.
Setting Goals
Notable institutions in New York, California, Massachusetts, and more have individually established specific sustainability goals for their dining services. Some have gone as far as providing information about the carbon footprint of food options in their dining halls, thereby educating students on food’s environmental impact and encouraging them to make sustainable, nutritious choices.
How? PlanetGards Compostable Gloves
If sustainability is the goal, then the “how” mentioned above must be taken into consideration. The need for handling, preparing, and dispensing food hygienically remains constant in the cafeteria setting – so how to align with eco-friendly goals? The answer: with BPI certified PlanetGards compostable gloves, designed with the Earth in mind. Fully compostable in an industrial composting facility, these light green gloves provide a comfortable fit and are ideal for lightweight tasks, catering to the unique demands of the hospitality industry.
Reduced Packaging, Minimized Carbon Footprint
