Responsible Restaurant Initiatives
At San Chez, being "green" is not just a trend. It is the very heart of who we have been for two decades....and always will be.
We Were Green When It Was Just A Color
For the past 23 years San Chez Bistro has been on the leading edge of programs and technologies that minimize our carbon footprint. Our sustainability efforts range from green energy to minimizing our waste stream to recycling fryer oil.
Today our recycling and composting program is among our more important "green" initiatives because it has the greatest impact and broadest involvement within our community. Currently we recycle 19.5 tons of mixed materials and compost 83 tons of organic material every year. These two programs effectively divert 91% of our waste stream from landfills and incinerators and eliminates an estimated 112.5 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and soils.
Our commitment to be a responsible restaurant does not stop with the "three Rs" - reduce, reuse, and recycle. We also work hard to support local businesses by incorporating locally produced ingredients and organic products into our culinary creations. The unpredictability of Mother Nature, the changing seasons and the demands of a high-volume restaurant require us to partner with our local producers and work together on a sustainable plan of action. Not only does this offer our guests the best possible quality, but it also helps them feel good about their dining experience at San Chez.
