Sustainable Dining
Dine-in
The most sustainable way to dine, is to Dine-In! This year, Dining Services is promoting the use of real dishes, silverware and cups that can be washed and re-used. While choosing a Go Green Reusable container is a great choice for to-go meals, real china is the best option. Our dining staff will be offering dine-in and reusable containers primarily, and both are free options. The last choice will be a compostable to-go container which costs $0.35 and is not a great choice for the environment, generating more waste, some of which goes to landfills if not returned to Dining Services. (KU Toss & KU Spice charge .60 for compostable bowls & lids).
