The UH Cleveland Medical Center Sustainability Team is working to achieve multiple environmental goals. This year, the team eliminated the use of all Styrofoam in the cafeteria, replacing it with a more sustainable sugarcane fiber product. The clamshell containers will break down within 45-90 days in a commercial composting facility, can be used for both hot and cold foods, do not soak up grease and liquids, and are safe for use in the microwave and freezer.
