Who’s Going Green: White Castle

Over the next several weeks, Greener Assets will be exploring the green-ness of larger companies. Look for the the “Who’s Going Green” label on future posts to read about the green practice of corporations around the world. You can read about more companies here.
Fast food isn’t exactly the healthiest or greenest option out there, but if you must indulge, White Castle might be the place to go. The company recently announced that they’ll be making a switch to more sustainable packaging at over 400 restaurant sites over the next few months.
White Castle, the king of the slider, already uses recycled cardboard to package their frozen foods, and they’ve been recycling their bun containers since the 1960s. In addition, White Castle uses LED lighting at some of their locations, has plans for a rainwater collection system, and uses green building materials for new restaurants and renovations.
Greasy fried food? We all need guilty pleasures. If this one is yours, at least choose a responsible company.

I never thought that I would see the day…lol. But, that’s great for white castle. I think they’re doing the right thing. Stay a step ahead of the rest. If this trend continues, it work to their advantage.
White Castle goes green… just like I did after my last bag of sliders…

Good gestures of motivations, to motivate everyone. Hope we can reduce the pollutions and global warming to some extent in this way and give our coming generations a pollutions free world and a quality life.
Your ilk is ruining every guilty pleasure on earth
May you all live to be 120 and be a dribbling idiot for the last 20
