Sustainable Syracuse

Campus Dining continually strives to eliminate waste. Some of our green practices include:

• Collaborative composting with the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency.
• Reusable to-go containers for students on meal plans.
• Single-use plastic reduction in dining centers, including the removal of takeaway cups, lids and straws.
• Large-volume dispensers implemented for condiments and coffee creamers to eliminate individual servings.
• Compostable cutlery, plates, straws and cups used exclusively at retail locations, catering and residential dining centers.
• New York State has begun transitioning away from natural gas-powered appliances. Campus Dining is making the same transition to electric equipment when a dining area is renovated or new equipment is installed.
• Campus Dining has added more plant-based proteins to its menu, including Beyond Meat products. Every entree station features a plant-based or vegan option.
