Suffolk University and Sodexho have worked together to adopt the use of environmentally preferred products, expand and increase recycling, and offer waste reduction incentives.

Environmentally Preferred Products

Prompted by student advocacy, Suffolk worked with Sodexho to replace polystyrene products with plates, cups, and bowls made of paper, with recycled content. 

Recycling

Since starting an organics recycling program for biodegradables and organic waste such as lettuce heads and banana peels, the Sodexho staff in the Sargent Kitchen have recycled more than 10,000 pounds. 

Staff in each of the kitchens recycle cardboard, glass, metal, and plastic.
