Beginning with the 2014 fall semester, Warner Pacific College and (our on-site food service provider) are implementing a new eco-friendly program: the 鈥�Choose to Reuse Container Program,鈥� which will bring reusable takeout containers to dining hall.
Students and employees of the College will use the new, reusable to-go boxes instead of the usual disposable option. Last year Sodexo estimates that over 10,500 to-go boxes were put into the trash.
The 鈥淐hoose to Reuse鈥� plastic to-go boxes are similar in shape to the disposable boxes previously available. The new takeout boxes are sealable and designed to be carried around without leaking. Containers cost just $4.99.
When the used, rinsed out containers are returned to the dining hall, students and staff will receive a token entitling them to a clean to-go box. The used boxes will be cleaned, sterilized, and put back into circulation.
As part of Sodexo鈥檚 commitment to sustainability, the 鈥淐hoose to Reuse Container Program鈥� will help to reduce the volume of waste from the dining hall.
Warner Pacific and Sodexo do recycle all glass, aluminum, and paper/cardboard used on the campus.
