We work together to continually develop and implement sustainable solutions. Through Green Thread, our environmental sustainability platform, we bring innovative and efficient solutions to life. We are passionately focused on reducing the environmental impact within our operations.
Here are just a few ways we work to make our campus more environmentally conscious:
- We implement energy and waste reduction practices.
- We compost in our kitchen and dining facilities.
- All plates and utensils at the AWC are reusable, to minimize waste.
- Sourcing and working in partnership with trusted quality suppliers to deliver fresh, seasonal and local food whenever possible, we adhere to sustainable and responsible practices.
- Participating in a 100-km local food hub for vegetables and fruits, local is our priority, whenever possible - Hothouses make this possible for 10 months of the year.
- Ontario eggs, Ontario milk, Canadian cheese served.
Local Purchasing
Did you know Dining Services sources food from many local farmers, growers and distributors? The list changes throughout the year depending on seasonality and availability.
Recycling
Dining Services recycles from all dining locations across campus. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Look for signs in our locations for information on where to put your recyclables.
