6.1 Compostable Packaging
Required
- Compostable food packaging must always be used unless using washable cutlery and delph. Recyclable food packaging is impractical as it must be washed and dried before being placed in the recyclables stream.
6.2 Menu choices
Required
- Local food should be sourced to as great an extent as possible.
- Vegetarian options should be promoted.
Recommended
- When planning menus, it is important to take into account that meals with red meat, like beef, typically have a larger carbon footprint compared to vegetables and alternative protein sources*.
