Green catering at SIS

Welcome back!

To support our environment, the Refectory is going to introduce the following new sustainability initiatives this year:

  1. Re-usable bowls and plates to replace the disposable paper trays for snacks.
  2. Re-usable Lock-n-Lock containers to replace disposable plastic cups for vegetable, fruits, sticks, corns, tomatoes, etc.

$10 will be added as a deposit for each Lock-n-Lock container. The deposit will be refunded upon return (no need to wash) of the container to the Refectory counter.  As you may be aware, the lost rate of metal cutlery and other reusable utensils has remained high last term. If the condition persists, the Refectory might consider charging a deposit for more items. The deposit system will be implemented on 2 Sep 2019.

For our better future, we need the support from the whole SIS community:

  • Bring your own cutlery and containers.
  • DO NOT take cutlery and containers outside the Refectory/Atrium.
  • Say “NO” to one-time disposables.
  • Never throw reusable cutlery, containers, utensils in the bin. Return to proper collection points.
  • Separate waste in the appropriate recycle bins.

We have a limited edition SIS cutlery set available for sale (@$20) at the PTA Shop. Please check it out.

Let’s build and enjoy GREEN CATERING at SIS!
