10tation Event Catering’s Green Mandate
Carbon Offsets
10tation Event Catering has purchased carbon offsets from Carbonzero
to neutralize
carbon produced by our delivery fleet and power use. Carbon Reduction
Energy conservation programs are in place, further reducing carbon emissions.
Our Kitchen
State of the art energy efficient ventilation system was installed by Captivaire in our kitchens as well as quick recovery, low energy use hot water tanks.
Our whole facility is lit by Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL). Although initially more expensive, CFL’s use 1/3 the electricity and last up to 10 times as along as incandescent A single 18 watt CFL used in place of a 75 watt incandescent will save about 570 kWh over its lifetime.
Reduces Air and Water Pollution: Replacing a single incandescent bulb with a CFL will keep a half-ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb.
Cleaning products are biodegradable and ammonia and phosphate free.
Waste
All waste is separated into 5 different compartments. This is very costly however we believe in our contribution to our planet. Streams include: cardboard, food compost, tin and glass, vegetable oil, and garbage.
We have also made an effort to reduce waste of plastic disposables. With extensive research we have found the best products based on use as well as quick biodegrade. Our current options include palm utensils, corn husk utensils and palm plates which compost. This is an ongoing effort that has us always searching out new products.
All deliveries are on re-usable equipment unless otherwise requested by the client
Local Foods
Local foods, wines, and beer are used extensively as a preference over imported products which further reduces carbon emissions, provides better tasting foods, and keeps our local economy healthier.
Our Suppliers
Purchasing preference is given to suppliers practicing good environmental standards.
Wind Powered Website
