March 12, 2012

Denver-based Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill has announced the introduction of compostable entrée plates and Level 1 recyclable plate lids as part of its ongoing eco-friendly initiative.

The 24 oz. entrée plates are made from bamboo pulp and are similar in size to the restaurant concept’s previous plates. As Level 1 recyclable, the new plate lids are made with the most commonly recycled plastic.

“Just as Garbanzo is committed to the healthy eating of our guests, we are also committed to the health of the environment; therefore we are making strategic strides toward decreasing our carbon footprint,” said Alon Mor, Garbanzo founder, president and CEO. “The eco-friendly changes to our entrée plates and plate lids – the two most used pieces of tableware in our restaurants – are a positive step in our continuing program to make Garbanzo as green as possible."

Garbanzo offers guests a variety of authentic Mediterranean items with an emphasis on flavor, freshness and quality, as well as a trans-fat free menu. Guests have the ability to customize every meal with items such as pita,laffa, falafel, shwarma, hummus, seasoned rice, sauces and dressings.
