I am heading up an initiative at my firm to make our food service more sustainable. In our regional offices there may be local composting facilities, but at our corporate headquarters there is no composting facility within 100 miles that I am aware of. It is not feasible for us to compost our material on site. Our county currently incinerates our waste. Do you have a Life Cycle Analysis or any information on the environmental benefits of using biodegradables over plastic/styrofoam in this scenario?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Dave
