VSCA Rating:

'Greener' and more environmentally sustainable*

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!
