Hotels, restaurants, QSRs, catering companies, food trucks, and even street food vendors are increasingly adopting sustainable strategies to combat climate change. A simple change is to start with straws. We are referring here not to the straws that you pluck while enjoying a hay ride as you go down a hill but the straws you use to sip your favorite beverage both hot and cold.
If your food outlet serves beverages , and every food outlet typically does, replacing plastic straws with <biogradable straws> is your clearly defined pathway toward environmental sustainability.
We suggest three ways to make your food outlet more eco-friendly:
Discard Plastic Straws
Plastic straws contribute abundantly to pollution, especially in rivers, seas and oceans. Switch to <biodegradable straws> at the first available opportunity. Many food outlets around the world have already made this transition, and guests appreciate the environmentally preferred choice as well as the commitment involved.
Ask your Guests if they need a Straw
If your food establishment offers takeout or delivery service, ask your guests if they need a straw before including one in their delivery bag. Reducing packaging waste in this manner not only helps the planet but also saves your resources on supplies.
Educate Your Team
Train your team to communicate your eco-friendly initiatives to guests and educate them about the negative impact of plastic waste. Promote your efforts on social media to inspire others to adopt similar practices.
Embarking with something as simple as straws, your food outlet can contribute significantly to a sustainable future. Purchase eco-friendly straws that are specifically designed to match the temperature of the beverage you are serving. What have your guests been saying about the straws you use at your outlet?
