Here are a few ways our dining program is doing its part. For more information visit myubcard.com/sustain Made in Grown in New York

  • Eliminating Plastic Straws: Our drink-thru lids for fountain beverages have allowed us to eliminate plastic straws at CDS dining locations across our campuses.
  • Plastic Bottle Return: Return/recycling machines are located across campus helping reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill.
  • Locally Sourced: Look for the Made in Grown in New York icon, which promotes and supports the sale of agricultural products grown and processed within New York State.
  • Dining Center & One World Café Compost Waste: By composting pre-consumer food waste, post-consumer food scraps and compostable packaging, we are eliminating thousands of pounds of waste from ending up in landfills. Instead, these materials are turned into renewable resources – such as electricity or natural gas – through a process called anaerobic digestion.
