World Centric Healthcare
It's time to serve up more sustainable healthcare foodservice
According to the American Hospital Association, over 5,534 hospitals in the U.S. generate at least 25 pounds of waste per day per patient. It all adds up to an urgent need to end the unsustainable stream of trash coming from just one industry.
You are what you eat with.
Increasingly, evolving municipal waste laws and corporate social responsibility practices are pressing for a reduction of the flow of healthcare waste that puts pressure on our ecosystem.
The foodservice ware you choose is one area your healthcare facilities can make an immediate impact. Transitioning away from petroleum and wood fiber and moving towards utilizing 100% compostable foodservice ware is one prescription to make your operations more sustainable.
World Centric products are good for your patients and the environment.
Making the choice to incorporate environmentally safe products made from plant-based materials, over petroleum or virgin wood based products, helps reduce your facilities' environmental footprint and minimizes your impact on valuable natural resources.
