Sustainable School Canteen & Catering
INDUSTRY-LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY
We can assist to empower you to become leaders in sustainability within the education sector. We can guide your school to promote best-practice sustainability initiatives among students and staff. Our target is to reduce school canteen waste by 80% through sustainably sourced menu items and packaging.
COMMITMENT TO RECYCLING
We use packaging that can be recycled packaging in our canteens such as brown paper bags. We reduce the use of plastic wrapping wherever possible.
RECYCLING
All of our Canteens have a strong approach to recycling and ensure that we reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible.
OUR COMMUNITY
At Vanilla Blue, our commitment to quality extends well beyond the food we deliver. We believe that our business must positively enhance the communities it works within.
PIGEON HOLE SYSTEM
Rethinking our food distribution diverts 100,000+ paper bags from the waste stream annually. The Pigeon Hole system reduces the need for food films such as cling wrap, foil and baking paper, meaning less packaging and no need for single-use paper bags.
COMMUNITY
As an organisation firmly embedded within our school communities, we are dedicated to giving back to those who need it most in the communities in which we operate.
COMMUNITY GIVING
We donate food to The Food Bank each month which contributes to distributing more than 1,000 meals to Australian households in need. We also donate to annual fundraising initiatives such as International Woman’s Day, the Biggest Morning Tea and RU OK Day?
SUPPORTING EQUALITY
We are an equal opportunity employer. We focus on ‘ability’ to accommodate staff with special needs so they too can join the workforce.
