sustainability

As a busy restaurant and juice bar we’re always searching for new ways to reduce our impact on the earth and its resources. We strive daily to make a difference in the best possible way. Please feel free to share suggestions on how we might further improve our efforts to tread lightly on our planet by writing to feedback@freshrestaurants.ca

1. We strongly encourage the use of reusable bags, containers and glass bottles.

As a further incentive, we offer a 15% discount to customers who bring in their own bottles or bags for takeout orders.

2. For your convenience, we also sell our own reusable baggu bags online or at our locations. Our 32 oz. reusable glass bottles for juice are available only at our stores.


3. Our take-away packaging is biodegradable and compostable.

This includes plastic bags, cups, containers and cutlery. This starch-based packaging is made from agricultural commodities such as corn and potatoes. These dissolve in 30 to 60 days when in prolonged contact with water and heat. Our non-petroleum based containers look, feel and act like traditional plastic but break down into organic components.

4. Our used cooking oil is picked up by GreenDiesel and recycled for biodiesel purposes including alternative fuel for your vehicle.

Green fuels help reduce smog emissions and environmental pollutants in local areas.

5. Spoiled produce and other biodegradable waste is composted. We maintain receptacles for glass, plastic and cardboard for our kitchens, juice bars and dining rooms.

6. Canadian recycled paper products with a high percentage of post-consumer waste are used wherever possible including hand towels, paper bags, napkins and toilet paper.

7. We keep the Fresh restaurants sparkling clean with biodegradable environmentally safe cleaners, scrubs and soaps.
