Sustainable Practices

Glass House Caf is dedicated to environmental practices that foster a sustainable future and improve the social and economic well-being of our community.
We fulfill this mission by:

• Purchasing goods from local farmers and suppliers

• Reducing waste by decreasing paper usage, utilizing electronic communications in daily operation, and installing low-flow faucets and automatic sensored hand washing sinks

• Using disposable products that are biodegradable, compostable, made from natural alternative materials or from post-consumer recycled products

• Using sanitation chemicals that are DfE Certified, packaged in condensed-sized Class 2 recyclable containers, and leave no chemical residue when empty

• Recycling paper, glass, cardboard, metal products

• Disposing of waste in a trash compactor to decrease volumes in landfills

• Donating food to Food Gatherers of Washtenaw County and Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor when possible

• Providing continuous education for staff about waste reduction and recycling

Our commitment does not end here. We constantly strive to find new ways to make a difference. We are helping to create a clean and safe place to live and work for future generations.
