Save with reusable packaging 

The new approach to recycling isn’t as much about recycling as it is about reusing. Think about solutions that take plastic and packaging out of landfills: 

1. Provide large condiment dispensers instead of individual packets of ketchup, mustard and mayo.
2. Give hotel guests shampoo and conditioner in refillable bottles instead of having to continually replace 3 oz. containers.
3. Serve fewer to-go cups and plastic cutlery, opting for tableware and glassware when possible. 

Because Entegra has a vast network of supplier partners, clients can select a sustainable partner to work with and enjoy savings on their purchases. 

Sustainable packaging supplier: OZZI 

Much like reusable milk bottles, OZZI provides reusable containers that are designed to bypass landfills. Ideally suited for senior living communities, workplace cafeterias, university or camp settings, customers then return the containers to be cleaned and reused. 

By integrating OZZI's reusable container system, you can directly lower your expenses on single-use packaging while demonstrating a commitment to sustainability that resonates with today's environmentally aware customers. 

Sustainable options for traditional proteins 

While plant-forward diets are becoming more popular, many people still want to order traditional proteins like beef and fish. Entegra’s Head of Culinary, Chef John Csukor, recommends smaller portions and mixed grills.
