Quiznos Goes Green

24 February 2010

US food chain Quiznos said it has come up with 100% compostable wax-coated paper cups to reduce carbon footprint.

As a part of “Eat Toasty, Be Green” campaign the firm's pulp salad bowls are made from renewable sugarcane while its plastic lids have been made using 30% post-consumer-recycled PET bottles.

Colorado-based Quiznos said its napkins are made with a combination of 100% recycled and 90% post-consumer fibres.

The company said it has started producing catering lunch boxes made of 100% recycled paperboard and 35% post-consumer fibre.
