At Chef's Requested Foods, we strive to improve the overall sustainability of our products and one way we do this is through the selection of vendors and the products we purchase. Approved vendors must comply with national and local environmental regulations including those concerning air pollution, water usage and waste disposal.
We utilize vendors that are capable of offering products which minimize packaging materials, dead space, waste generated from use and energy required for use. Additionally, we utilize vendors that are capable of offering products which maximize the ability of a product to be recycled, product durability and the amount of post-consumer materials used.
