Sustainable Business Practices

Dominicks, a restaurant located near the University of Michigans Law Quad, in Ann Arbor, is continuously conscientious of recycling everything possible. The restaurant recycles everything from paper and glass to packaging supplies. They do not supply napkin containers in the restaurant, instead they give each customer one or two napkins and ask that they come get more if needed, redusing the amount of paper used. Dominicks also practices waste reduction activities by using double-sided printing and reusing boxes, mugs, and utensils. The restaurant also conserves water; dirty plates are soaked in a pan of water instead of being rinsed by a continuous flow from the faucet. Windows are now cleaned with vinegar instead of ammonia. Brown paper towels made from recycled content materials are purchased as well as recycled content envelopes and cardboard boxes. Since Dominicks put these waste reduction activities into practice, they have cut their quantity of landfilled waste in half. Dominicks is also committed to energy conservation by using new fluorescent bulbs, performing routine preventative maintenance on equipment and reducing temperatures when the building is unoccupied.
