We are committed to operating sustainably. We are always working to minimize the university's impact on the environment by reducing waste and creating meals from fresh, locally grown foods. Many of our cafes, markets, cafeterias and dining halls are Green Spaces Certified.  Our goal is to incorporate sustainable practices in all aspects of food purchasing, food preparation and waste disposal.

Here are just a few ways we work to make our campus more environmentally conscious:

Fair Trade

We are proud to support UAlberta in its Fair Trade Campus designation. Look for fair trade certified food items (like coffee, tea and chocolate bars) in Marina, Lister Dining Hall, CAB Urban Market, Euromarket and Peter Lougheed Dining Hall. Use our locations map to find each establishment and its hours of operation.


Recycling

check
Dining Services partners with campus to recycle from all dining locations across campus. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Look for signs in our locations for information on where to put your recyclables.

Hydration Stations

check
Dining Services offers several hydration stations throughout campus. Use the filtered water stations to refresh and refuel while helping to impact your carbon footprint. 

Energy & Water Conservation

check
We train our employees each semester on common energy and water conservation practices in order to conserve precious natural resources.
