Gourmet Dining, NJCU’s food services provider, is striving to move away from purchasing industrial outsourced food, products in an effort to serve locally available ingredients to provide a fresher, low waste, and energy efficient dining experience. The majority of products purchased by Gourmet Dining are from local east coast providers. With our investment in a BioHiTech digester, carbon emissions are drastically reduced along with substantially lower energy costs year round, further, we have made an attempt to incorporate biodegradable cleaning and sanitizing solutions where possible. Gourmet Dining is fully committed to making NJCU’s carbon footprint as small as possible. When staff, students, and faculty come together to embrace this commitment to environmental improvements, NJCU can achieve a triumph, not only for the present, but for future generations as well.<\/p>\n

\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Food Digester Description (Paragraph 1)” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ disabled=”on”]The BioHiTech Digester has been implemented by New Jersey City University, along with Gourmet Dining, to help us avoid sending NJCU’s food waste to local landfills. Instead, NJCU’s food waste is disposed of on-site in an environmentally safe manner. Gourmet Dining uses one digester unit, located in Vodra Hall, to process food waste from all food areas on campus. Food from all areas on campus is brought to the digester and processed daily.

A food digester was implemented on campus in 2018 to help reduce the amount of food waste sent to local landfills.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • To date, over 4 tons of food waste have been diverted, eliminating greenhouse gases relating to the hauling of that waste.<\/li>\n
  • NJCU uses organic and environmentally safe products which have resulted in substantially lower costs and lower maintenance, in its partnership with Gourmet Dining.<\/li>\n
  • The Digester system combines mechanical and biological processes to turn food waste into sewage allowing it to contribute water back into the sewer system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
