our greensponsibilities

We prevent waste in the first place

  • We buy free-trade, certified organic coffee grown in the shade, which prevents cutting down forests to grow coffee.
  • By serving condiments and creamers from a pump system instead of individual packets, we have eliminated more than 3 million condiment packets and 495,000 single-serving creamer cups per year.
  • Unlike most other coffee cups, ours have a corn starch rather than the petroleum-based lining and are completely biodegradable, compostable, and chlorine-free, but still, hold hot beverages safely. Instead of sending used cups to the landfill, they are composed.
  • We serve our meals in reusable and washable tableware at the Statue of Liberty & Ellis SIalnd restaurants. These materials are nicer to eat off of, prevent waste, and save money.
  • We have worked with vendors to eliminate excess packaging wherever possible.

We recycle:

  • Plastics - PET, NDPE & LDPE
  • Aluminum
  • Glass
  • Cardboard
  • Wood Pallets
  • Batteries
  • Light Bulbs
  • Cooking Oil

We compost:

  • Food Scraps
  • Coffee Grounds
  • Utencils
  • Compostable Paper Products

We buy Green Products

Our dinner napkins, toilet paper, office paper, gift shop bags, gift boxes, and postcards we sell at the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island gift stores & restaurants are made with recycled content and are suitable for recycling. All of our chemicals meet the criteria for Green Restaurant certification.
