Lodge Catering : Sustainability
Lodge Catering are currently working towards BS8901 Sustainability in Event Management. In doing so the following points are all important to us and are all being worked upon.
food recycling
Lodge Catering is extremely proud to announce that we are recycling all food waste. This includes all cooked food items left over from events and raw food items (vegetable, meat, fish and used oils) generated at both of our kitchens.
Once collected the left over food is processed and used in the manufacture of bio-fuels. The liquid fat recovered from the food waste is used as a feedstock, for the production of bio-diesel, or as a renewable energy fuel.
organic
We are happy to supply organic food on any event, but understand that the cost that this inevitably involves does not make it a practical alternative in every case. If you would like to know more then please ask and we are always happy to quote . Organic food, by it's very nature means that a seasonal menu will be followed. Our dinner menus are all seasonal by default.
fairtrade
Lodge Catering are pleased to support the Fairtrade movement. All of the tea, coffee and sugar served on all of our events is Fairtrade certified.
freerange
All of the eggs we purchase are Class A Free Range.
biopackaging
When asked for disposables Lodge Catering only supply:
Cups that are 100% biodegradable with a plant based (PLA) lining,
Paperboard hot food containers that are recyclable and made from renewable resources,
Wooden disposable cutlery that is 100% compostable and made from renewable resources,
Sandwich boxes that are 100% compostable and made from renewable resources and in general try and keep packaging to a minimum.
If you have any questions about any of the above then please feel to contact us following the link above.
