Just Salad's Reusable Bowls Are a Hit For Sustainability Program

Next week is Climate Week for those in New York City, and one fast-casual food chain is reinventing the menu to help make the earth healthier. Just Salad will be the first U.S. restaurant chain to label all of its menu items with a corresponding carbon footprint. Sandra Noonan, Chief Sustainability Officer for Just Salad, discusses how this initiative will work, and how an item's carbon footprint will correlate with its pricing.

Recompose | SEATTLE recently unveiled renderings for what it says will be the world's first site for composting human remains, or what it's calling the first truly "sustainable option for after-death care."

The salad chain known for its reusable bowl program is doubling down on its ambitions for a green 2019. As part of its efforts, Just Salad has appointed Janani Lee as its new chief sustainability officer. She'll lead sustainability initiatives at the salad, sandwich, and smoothie company, which means everything from front-of-house and back-of-house composting projects to ingredient tracking that can help prevent food-borne illnesses.
