This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.
Aramark took over food service operations in July 2017. We have prioritized responsible sourcing and waste minimization throughout our first 2 years as a means to provide more sustainable dining options to the UofSC community. We began sourcing and tracking local and TPV products; we initiated post-consumer compost collection in 7 locations; we implemented trayless dining and reusable dine-in & to-go options; we began purchasing produce from a local food hub to support small farmers. All of these efforts have been in alignment with the University's sustainable goals. We hope to institutionalize these changes through a Sustainable Dining Policy that is in progress.
