Welcome to the Irish Nobleman Pub, where sustainability meets inclusivity. We take great pride in our commitment to creating an eco-friendly environment that caters to everyone’s needs. Through a range of initiatives, from recycling and upcycling to sourcing locally, we strive to make a positive impact on both our community and the planet. Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the various ways in which the Irish Nobleman Pub stands out as a green and inclusive haven for all.
Our daily dedication to sustainability begins with our innovative approach to waste management. We have partnered with Green Grease, a leading company in the field, to recycle the used grease from our kitchen. By repurposing this grease, we not only minimize waste but also promote a cleaner and greener environment. This commitment to recycling extends beyond grease to encompass other materials throughout our establishment.
In our efforts to reduce plastic waste, we have taken significant steps to offer biodegradable alternatives. We proudly provide biodegradable straws made from natural materials that break down over time, minimizing their impact on the environment. Additionally, we offer biodegradable to-go plastic bags, allowing our customers to enjoy their meals while being mindful of our planet. By choosing these eco-friendly options, we actively contribute to the global effort to reduce single-use plastics and protect our oceans and wildlife.
Here is a full view of the various initiatives that make our pub stand out.
