Did you know that white paper bags
are chemically bleached and that these chemicals are released
into the waste stream? Brown paper bags are not bleached and
therefore are more environmentally friendly! A very small
change from using white to using only brown paper bags can
make a difference.

Did you know that you can purchase
serviettes made from recycled paper? These are more environmentally
friendly than standard white or coloured serviettes.

A diverse range of environmentally
friendlier packaging is becoming available. Some packaging is made
using recycled materials (paper, sugar cane fibre, bamboo, palm
leaves). Other packaging uses materials that are biodegradable and
can be composted. By using this packaging in our school canteens,
we play our part in creating a demand and guaranteeing the ongoing
development and production of better packaging options. We also
give a good example to students, staff and their families and support
the SOSE curriculum.
You
can now purchase "environmentally friendlier" packaging items ideally
suited to school canteens directly from VSCA!
