Zest! is Sarasota's Greenest catering company and a Sarasota County Green Business Partner. We separate, collect and recycle all glass and plastic, both in the kitchen and on site, from all of our jobs. We recycle all plastic bags and all foam containers such as egg cartons and the foam liners from meat and fish packaging. We recycle all our cardboard as well. We avoid buying spring water in the small bottles. We continue to offer pure spring water at all our events, but pour it from pitchers which we will fill from gallon jugs. We do not use food products from sources that are endangered or threatened, and buy locally whenever practical. We even grow some of the ingredients in our recipes. Our coffee is from Fair Trade sources. We have available a line of biodegradable disposables (plates, cups & flatware) for those occaisions when china, glass and silverware are not practical. Our kitchen is equipped with low wattage lights, and we have had FPL in to do an overall energy audit. We welcome any suggestions you may have as to how we can continue to be the most environmentally responsible catering company in Sarasota!
