Zero Waste Caterers

Using only reusables or biodegradables

zero waste catering
Zero Waste Catering is always the best option.
Table Of Contents All catered events through University Catering are zero waste, meaning no trash is generated for the landfill. If you are looking to have an event catered by a zero-waste caterer, below is a list of caterers who have pledged to be zero waste. Every caterer on this list is committed to the following Zero Waste guidelines:
  • Only recyclables (#1 and #2 plastics, glass, and aluminum only) will be brought in to allow for recycling.
  • Only Compostable or Reusable dining ware (including plates, cups, straws and utensils) will be used.
  • All organic materials (food waste, paper, cardboard, compostable ware) generated by the caterer will be composted.
  • Food will be purchased in bulk to avoid the waste from individually wrapped items.
  • No Styrofoam, non-compostable, or non-recyclable containers are will be used.
  • No landfill items will be brought in to the event (such as individual condiment packets or chip bags).
  • Food portions will be determined appropriately to prevent food waste.
  • For larger events, arrangements are to be made with the local food bank to donate the extra food at the end of the event.
