  • University Catering's Sustainable Initiatives

    We are pleased to announce that effective July 23rd, University Catering will be switching out almost all of our disposable plates, cups and silverware to an Eco product line.

    • The new plates are made of sugarcane, also known as bagasse. This reclaimed fiber is strong, sturdy, and 100% renewable and compostable.
    • The cutlery is made of 100% renewable resources, and is made with PLA, a plant based plastic that is compostable.
    • Coffee and soup cups are made with 24% post-consumer recycled content and are certified compostable.
