Pasadena Zero Waste Partner Program has recently been developed by the City of Pasadena, CA. This is a free program that assists businesses with incorporating waste reduction practices into their daily operations.
Businesses involved in the Program receive technical assistance, guidance on achieving waste reduction goals, and city-wide recognition. The Program is part of the City’s larger commitment to achieving zero waste by 2040 and increasing environmental sustainability within the community.
The City’s first Zero Waste Partner is Sage Vegan Bistro’s Pasadena location. The restaurant’s current zero waste practices involve using paper straws, paper to-go products, and transporting pre-consumer food waste to Sow A Heart Farm in Fillmore, CA for compost and animal feed.
A city spokesperson said the Zero Waste Partner Program will be a great way to enhance and build on the practices Sage Vegan Bistro has implemented to instill a zero waste culture within its restaurants.
