Sustainability at USITT25

Catering at The Convention Center

GCCC’s caterer Levy promotes environmental sustainability by:

Using organic and locally grown products, in-season produce as well as local meat and seafood when it is available. Locally grown produce not only supports regional farmers but also reduces transportation costs and the consumption of fossil fuels.

Levy is one of the largest contributors to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank and Friends of the Homeless.

Fryer oil is recycled into animal feed and bio-diesel fuels.

Renewable service options include china, cotton napkins and tablecloths, and bulk condiments as part of standard operations.

The indoor, vertical Smartfarm is the first of its kind in a convention center and produces nearly 5,000 pounds of vegetables and herbs annually for culinary use.
