We care a great deal about sustainability, and we’re proud that more than 40% of our locations are Green Restaurant Association (GRA) Certified Green Restaurants®. We’re working toward 100% so all of our establishments meet the GRA’s rigorous standards. The certified locations have implemented more than 4,300 environmental steps spanning the GRA’s seven categories. By initiating daily waste reduction practices, decreasing water usage, and conserving energy, SSP America provides travelers the opportunity to ‘dine green’ while flying.

We’ve replaced all plastic straws with compostable paper straws, eliminating 5.8 million plastic straws from use. We have transitioned to a kraft paper box called OneBox for our to-go containers. With this change we pulled over 2,400 foam and plastic containers from circulation. We’re also rolling out compostable cutlery to eliminate polypropylene and polystyrene versions.
