Ways to Green Your Business

The Karat® Paper Hot Cup at Work

Sometimes we may think that it’s not easy being green. A growing office might not have all the resources to change out their standard light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs. Or a restaurant can’t upgrade to all Energy Star appliances. Nonetheless, we’ve compiled a few tips with ways in which you can green your business.

Office: Recycle everything! In an office setting, recycling isn’t only limited to paper—but you can recycle beverage containers, electronic equipment, batteries, plastic, and aluminum.

Café/Coffeehouse: Save the coffee grinds and use them as a natural fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants. Not only are you saving the coffee grinds from the trash, but you’ll also create an even cooler atmosphere with the plants in your café/coffeehouse.

Ice Cream/Yogurt Shop: Invest in greening your business with the Karat® Earth line of eco-friendly Paper Food Containers and Compostable Teaspoons. Satisfy your customers’ taste buds for something cool and sweet and do it in green style!

Restaurants: Use recycled paper for Menus. Changing your menus from regular paper to recycled paper is an obvious way to show your customers your commitment to going green—a menu is something that every customer looks at when they sit down at a restaurant.

Fast-Service Food: Change out your regular plastic cups and paper hot cups to the Karat® Earth line of PLA cold cups and Karat® Earth Paper Hot Cups. Both of these products are eco-friendly, so customers can take their drinks to-go eco-consciously.
