Sustainability Initiatives

We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action. Check out some of the ways we're reducing our environmental impact and creating a positive impact on our community.

Working Toward Zero Waste

We proudly support the sustainability goals of the Office of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability. Here are a few active initiatives.

  • Robust Recycling

    We recycle cardboard, metal, paper, glass, and accepted plastic products, and we recycle uncommon items—such as batteries and printer cartridges—wherever possible.

  • Collaborative Composting

    We work with Berry College Eco Club and other local farms to collect leftover salad bar items and donate them to feed animals, compost, and more!

  • OZZI Box Program

    OZZI boxes are reuseable to-go containers that can be purchased through the Dining Hall. Our goal is to reduce our single-use plastics at Berry Dining Services!

Your Choices Can Make a Daily Impact

Our goal is to make it easy to offer you nutritious, environmentally, and socially conscious options wherever possible.
