A brief description of the purchasing behavior:

In addition to providing recycled content napkins SDSU Dining Services is constantly seeking more sustainable products for its operations. Examples include:
All food trays and pizza boxes are made of recycled cardboard. Meatless Mondays in the Dining Room, Faculty Staff Club and Culinary Theater. No styrofoam. Providing recycling bins for customers. Concessions use only compostable plates, utensils and cups. Earthday Week: Concessions uses 100% compostable plates, utensils and cups.

The Use One Less! Campaign informs customers that using just one less napkin with each meal can reduce waste.
