We have introduced methods to facilitate responsible waste diversion both in our home facility and off-site operations. Along with recycling and composting, only eco-friendly paper products are used to ensure they have a reduced environmental impact.
Choosing plant-based options has numerous environmental benefits, including:
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. By offering a vegan menu, Edge Catering significantly reduces our carbon footprint, as plant-based diets have proven more environmentally friendly.Preservation of Natural Resources
Producing animal-based foods requires more land, water, and resources than plant-based alternatives. By promoting a vegan menu, Edge Catering helps conserve precious resources and supports a more efficient food production system.
