Kosciusko Community Hospital is replacing styrofoam cups and serviceware with more environmentally friendly, to-go drinkware, containers and napkins in Reflections cafeteria. The cafeteria is open daily to the public, staff and visitors offering daily hot and cold featured entrees, desserts, soup as well as a full salad bar. Greenware® cold drink cups and lids are a line of non-petroleum based, crystal clear, American made premium serviceware manufactured from IngeoTM biopolymer, a resin derived entirely from plants that is a natural and renewable resource. Greenware products are sturdy foodservice packaging. Greenware is 100% compostable. Greenware is made in the U.S.A. by Fabri-Kal — a family-owned eco and performance packaging leader for more than 60 years headquartered in Kalamazoo, Mich. "Kosciusko Community Hospital serves hundreds of community members and staff daily, therefore, thousands of drinking cups and food containers are used weekly at KCH. We believe changing to Greenware is a positive practice as it is a more environmentally friendly, compostable product," said Penny Zorn, Nutrition Services Manager at Kosciusko Community Hospital.
