Our Commitment to Sustainability
We proudly partner with BioGreen360 and Garick to reduce our environmental impact. Through this collaboration, we have instilled processes which reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing food loss and diverting 100% of our food waste away from landfills by integrating it into sustainable natural resources.
BioGreen360’s technology allows us to efficiently convert all food waste from our Arlington, VA kitchen into all-natural compost, which is then integrated into organic fertilizer at Garick’s New Milford, CT facility, forming a completely circular solution for food waste. This partnership has allowed us to achieve zero food waste, and we continue to seek opportunities to further reduce our environmental impact and protect our planet.
Please see below for more information about the partnerships and technologies that make this possible.
