FIND OUT HOW EASY BEING ECO-FRIENDLY CAN BE FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
Choosing to be eco-friendly or not isn't a choice you have to make anymore—it's the way of the world. The good news? The world is making it easier to be environmentally friendly as more manufacturers make the commitment to be green.
Here at Tundra Restaurant Supply, we're making shopping for eco-friendly restaurant supplies easier than ever with our broad, eco-friendly assortment. Disposables and single-use items should be your first target in your quest to be green; inherently wasteful, these products are typically used once and thrown straight into our landfills. But what about your water use or energy consumption? We feature products to tackle those issues as well. Being environmentally friendly in your restaurant is easy with our diverse selection of high efficiency pre-rinse hoses, LED lighting options and much more!
Eco-Friendly Disposables
Going green starts with sourcing good-for-the-environment materials. Learn more about compostables and products made from post-consumer recycled content.
FULLY COMPOSTABLE
Products bearing these logos are deemed 100% certifiably compostable. These products can be accepted at a commercial composting center to be broken down and returned to the soil.
Sugarcane
After extracting the juice from a sugarcane stalk, the crushed stalks are saved and made into a 100% compostable product.
Ingeo™ Bioplastic
Ingeo™ performs much like traditional plastics, but with the crucial benefit of being 100% compostable in commercial composting facilities.
Bamboo
Abundantly grown in many parts of the world, bamboo is a type of grass that grows quickly and sustainably.
Wheat Straw
After extracting the juice from a sugarcane stalk, the crushed stalks are saved and made into a 100% compostable product.
ECO ALTERNATIVES
Only products featuring this logo are fully recyclable. Be sure to check with your service provider on what recycables are accepted in your area.
If composting or recycling is not available for your next event, consider utilizing products made from post-consumer content, which rely less on virgin material.
Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic (rPET)
Made from post-consumer recycled PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, which is one of the most common plastics in the world (think water bottles). Not all municipalities can accept and recycle rPET products.
Post-Consumer Recycled Fiber (PCF)
After extracting the juice from a sugarcane stalk, the crushed stalks are saved and made into a 100% compostable product.
