Orca Green Composting Machine is in the News

The news media in St. Louis have taken note of Green Smart Food Service's arrival in the Gateway City.

What generated the interest? Our Orca Green composting machine is now turning waste into water at the area's exclusive Butler's Pantry catering company. Butler's Pantry is the first food-related business in St. Louis to install an Orca Green.

Already, in the early days of operation, the Orca Green has eliminated more than 3,200 pounds of food waste, allowing Butler's Pantry to both cut their trash hauling costs and make their customers happy with more environmentally sustainable events.

Here's s link to coverage in the St. Louis Business Journal.

And here's a link to the St. Louis Globe Democrat's story on our Orca Green.

The worldwide celebration calls attention to the environment and issues that affect us all.

Here's a link to the official Earth Day site. You can find local events, learn more about the Earth Day organization's core issues, or find ways to take action in your own community.

Here at Green Smart Food Services, we're installing an Orca Green composting machine in St. Louis at a very busy catering operation called Butler's Pantry during Earth Day week.

The owners of Butler's Pantry are committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner and the Orca Green is providing a solution to their food waste and trash hauling problems, saving time, money, fuel...and the environment at the same time.

Butler's Pantry's impact on local landfills will be greatly reduced and their customers will be pleased to know that they've made a responsible catering choice.

Warm Up With Compostable Bowls


Soup. Just the thought makes you feel nice and warm, doesn't it?

This picture may look like a simple soup bowl. But at Green Smart Food Services we know it's really part of a complete solution to turning the food service at your next meeting, convention or event --or even your entire venue --green.

We can give you the tools to help you and your customers make environmentally responsible choices.

For use along with the amazing ORCA green machine, we provide compostable bowls, plates and containers in a variety of shapes and sizes.

These versatile soup bowls are manufactured from sustainable resources. They're biodegradable, recyclable and compostable as well as being microwave and freezer safe and oil and cut resistant. All important traits in your food service bowls.

Our soup bowls also are impermeable and non-toxic. How many things in your life can make that claim?

Available in 12 and 16 oz. sizes (lids available).

Contact the Green Smart Food Services team for details.

Your Convention, Meeting or Tradeshow Can Go Green

Green Smart Food Services works with convention centers, caterers and meeting planners to help them make their events earth friendly.

In addition to supplying compostable utensils, plates, bowls, cold cups, hot cups and trash bags, we also supply 100% recycled napkins and thermal coffee sleeves.

At the end of the event -- instead of hundreds or thousands of pounds of trash going to a local landfill -- much of it can go to a compost facility or into an ORCA Green machine at the venue.

Going green can actually pay dividends above the environmental ones. Many of our Green Smart Food Services products can be branded by sponsors, providing groups with income to help cover many of the costs of going green.
