Sustainability Initiatives at Relish Catering + Hospitality: Nurturing a Greener Tomorrow

Championing "Getting to Zero Together"

Relish Catering + Hospitality proudly holds its position as a leading sustainable caterer in New York City, with a dedicated commitment to "Getting to Zero Together." This commitment revolves around sourcing sustainable, local ingredients and implementing rigorous composting practices within the commissary kitchen. The company's eco-friendly endeavors extend beyond culinary choices, incorporating the use of green chemicals, cleaning supplies, and recycled cooking oil for bio-diesel fuel.

Reduce, Reuse, Relish: A Pledge to Sustainability

At the core of Relish's sustainability philosophy lies the mantra of "Reduce, Reuse, Relish." The company steadfastly believes in sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact. This commitment is evident in their Workplace Dining programs, where washable silverware, melamine, and porcelain crockery replace single-use containers for office teams. For off-premises events, festivals, and conferences, Relish champions bulk water stations, eliminating the need for single-use containers. When reuse is not viable, the company opts for biodegradable and compostable products, contributing to the reduction of water usage, solid waste, electricity, and emissions. Relish invites others to join them in these collective efforts to protect the planet.

Sustainable Packaging Choices: Nurturing with Every Bite

In the realm of recycling and packaging, Relish goes the extra mile by thoughtfully selecting 100% compostable, FSC Certified "NOTREE®" recycled paper and packaging products. Committed to promoting health and sustainability, the company sources compostable containers that are free of harmful chemicals like BPA, BPB, BPS, and PFAS. The disposable packaging, procured from Bio & Chic – a transparent and affordable supply company specializing in eco-friendly single-use containers – reflects Relish's dedication to making environmentally conscious choices.

Environmental Impact: Striving for Positive Change

At Relish, the commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with a continual effort to minimize negative environmental impacts and maximize positive ones. The company's mission is clear: make a difference for the planet without compromising the client experience. Clients and partners are invited to join Relish in this impactful journey towards a greener tomorrow.
