Has the institution adopted sustainability policies or guidelines for food service franchisees operating on campus?:
A brief description of the guidelines for franchisees:
All franchises in UMass Auxiliary’s retail dining locations are required to provide compostable to-go containers, cups, plates, bowls, etc. for all in-house prepared items. We are currently working with our franchises to provide only compostable containers and flatware in our retail locations over time. We do not allow the distribution of plastic bags. All napkins provided are made from recycled paper and are 100% compostable. Coffee stirrers provided are made of wood, not plastic.
