To whom it may concern:
I recently purchased a sandwich in Champaign, Illinois and was happy to see a note on your Subway® napkins telling me to compost them after use. Had I been going home after my meal, I would have. However, I was in transit, as I assume many fast food customers are when they purchase such food.
I’m writing this letter with the hope to encourage franchises to provide compost bins in their stores as well as compost food waste generated on-site. I imagine franchises generate far more waste than consumers generate using napkins, and taking the steps necessary to process this on-site would mean a huge reduction in waste. Furthermore, providing napkins when people ask for them rather than handing 5 out each time would also cut down on waste, as would sourcing part of the napkins from post-consumer recycled paper.
It’s encouraging to me as an individual that Subway® acknowledges my part in addressing waste problems, but I’d also like to see this mirrored by the corporation/franchise itself. Composting food waste and allowing consumers to do so in-store would do this.
Thank you for your consideration and the steps that the franchise has already taken. I hope you and the franchise continue along this path.
Sincerely,
Ariann Sahagun
