Environmentally-Friendly Dining & Professional Cleaning Products

1. Environmentally-Friendly Dining & Professional Cleaning Products Consumers care more than ever that we’re doing a little extra for our planet. They’re interested in how we’re disposing of our food to our food safety practices and which professional cleaning products we’re using. Some of the things that Samantha Kincaid and Jon Nodler, chefs and owners of Cadence in Philadelphia, recommend: ● Reducing waste ● Using biodegradable, professional cleaning products whenever possible ● Composting ● Using eco-friendly packaging¹¹ What professional cleaning products do you like to use in your kitchen? Seventh Generation Professional products are gaining popularity because they’re not just environmentally friendly – they truly work. Upcycling is another modern food trend that’s absolutely soaring​, with an industry worth $46.7 billion¹². Making food from ingredients that would have otherwise been thrown out both salvages waste and protects the environment. Upcycling includes creating snacks, drinks, sauces and more from unused food.

2. For example, ​Pulp Pantry​ creates chips using vegetable juice pulp, and ​Scraps Frozen Food​ upcycles broccoli leaves, bruised basil leaves and imperfect-looking peppers to make sauces for their pizzas or ​unilever food solution​. Catering to Conscious Consumers At the end of the day, the American consumer is more conscious now – more conscious about what they are putting into their bodies, and more conscious about the impact their food and professional cleaning products have on the environment. As long as we’re remaining conscious with them, we will be able to update our menus and practices to accommodate their needs and preferences. Simply taking the time to read up on modern food trends shows that you care for your customers, take your food safety practice seriously, and serve your community well.
