Does the institution have a trayless dining program in which trays are removed from or not available in dining halls?:
A brief description of the trayless dining program:
Since 2008, FIU dining areas have been trayless. An Aramark study of 186,000 meals at 25 colleges and universities found a 25% - 30% reduction in food waste per person on trayless days. Other benefits include saving one-third to one-half gallon of water per tray. Reducing chemicals, detergents and drying agents used to wash trays. Lastly conserving energy by eliminating the need to heat water for tray washing.
