At events, the Blended Table team sets up stations throughout the event center and has a waste station behind the scenes. At the waste station, team members sort through attendees’ plates to properly dispose of each item in the correct recycling stream. Towards the end of the event, the team loads up all the waste and returns it to their office where their Momentum Recycling bins are stored.

Although their system may seem complex, their team has made it a routine. Emery commented on their system saying, “I would just think every business would be psyched to take part in these services, especially restaurants who generate so much food waste. The system is simple, sorting is easy, and anyone can do it!”

As a restaurant owner, employee, or just an everyday individual trying to reduce consumerism, we must do what we can to mitigate our negative impacts on the environment. From choosing to bring your own straw, bike to work, or to simply recycle, every little step towards sustainability makes a difference. Blended Table is catering to not only the community, but to sustainability.
