Yes. In 2017, we actively started our journey toward reducing the use of unnecessary plastic. In the kitchen, we have cut the use of disposable (nitrile) gloves by 50% and piping bags are now used only when absolutely necessary. Plastic film use has also been reduced and replaced with reusable alternatives to store raw materials. Other examples include: not using plastic bags in trash bins when appropriate, and not offering plastic straws. Today, no plastic goes out to guests in the dining room.
We are facing a major challenge when it comes to vacuum bags, piping bags and plastic films that are frequently required in our operations. We are looking for better alternatives. If you have any tips on other heat resistant plastics that are environmentally friendly, please get in touch.
