Single Use Plastics Reduction

Our primary goal is to take progressive concrete actions in our business operations over the coming years to completely eliminate our use of single use plastics from our business operations in their entirity. Recycling alone as a solution is a proven failure and as such, while a component and somemthing we exercise when possible, we recognize is a limited solution. As such, we’re more comitted to the use of degradeable bioplastics and paper based materials going forward.
