Sustainable policies

Environmental stewardship is an important part of the VIBRANT TABLE philosophy, and we do everything we can to operate clean and green, including:

  • Composting food scraps and organic debris from our in-house floral department
  • Supporting local and sustainable farms and ranches
  • Using non-disposable china, glassware, flatware and linens wherever possible
  • Using compostable and biodegradable disposable tableware and packaging whenever possible
  • Creating menus designed to reduce food waste
  • Donating leftover food to local relief organizations
  • Reducing paper waste by performing administrative functions electronically whenever possible
  • Recycling event and office waste
  • Using recycled-content office supplies
  • Using rechargeable batteries in décor items

In recognition of our achievements, the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability awarded VIBRANT TABLE with the RecycleWorks Award in April 2008.
