Spring is in full bloom and Floored! is exploring our dark “green” side. Given that the restaurant industry is committed to doing the right thing for the environment, conservation is a top menu item.
With so much information out there on this topic, it makes it tough for restaurateurs to make sense of it all. So, many exhibiting companies at NRA Show® 2009 will showcase “green” and sustainable products and services. Also, a special series of green-focused education sessions will deliver information and tips you need to make your operation greener.
Additionally, several of the Kitchen Innovations™ Award recipients have eco-conscious features, and the Organic & Natural Pavilion will feature sustainable food and beverage options.
Among the thousands of products and services throughout the exhibit floor, there will be many “green” options at this year’s NRA Show, including: Big Green G, a revolutionary resource for restaurants to take green steps and for customers to find green businesses; PrimeWare by PrimeLink Solutions, LLC offers biodegradable tableware (along with several other exhibitors) made from bagasse (sugarcane) – this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “now you see it, now you don’t,” and PureOFlow is changing the way restaurants and other foodservice businesses manage water needs (we also hear Pure Revolution's PureOFlow booth will feature a national drink recipe contest, an Austin Powers and other 60’s spy theme hi-jinks – groovy baby!).
The National Restaurant Association’s Conserve initiative, launched at last year’s NRA Show, offers these ten tips for sustainability: 1. Turn Off 2. Fix Leaks 3. Replace Lighting 4. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. 5. Unplug 6. Use Less Water 7. Train and Inform 8. Clean and Maintain 9. Remodel or Build Green 10. Look for the ENERGY STAR Label.
