| | Engrained: A Taste of Green | |
| |
The Engrained café comes to Arizona State University as part of ARAMARK’s Green
Thread Platform.

The mission behind Engrained is outlined in what we call our 6 Intentions:
Radius 150, Buy Smart, Daily Commute, Wall to Wall, Around the Community, and
Waste Not Want Not. Each of these 6 Intentions summarizes our goals and actions
toward reducing our environmental footprint through educating and supporting our
patrons to make sustainability a part of their daily lives.

Engrained will feature locally grown and harvested food prepared to order.
Organic produce, Fair-Trade coffee, cage-free eggs and chicken, free-range beef and
sustainable seafood will all be available from a seasonal menu. Students will even be
able to watch chefs prepare meals in a hearth oven.

Patrons will be connected with the farms from which their food was harvested,
receive tips on ways they can change their day-to-day behavior and make a positive
impact. An educational thread runs throughout the restaurant featuring eco-friendly
products and eco-saving techniques, creating a live atmosphere that is exciting morning, noon, and night.

Engrained goes beyond Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to Rethink, Relearn, Reward.
