Ruby Tuesday is taking many steps to restructure their restaurant chain as environmentally responsible, including printing on Mohawk papers. “We are turning off exterior lights at a specific time instead of leaving them on all night as we used to, we do not allow delivery trucks to idle while making deliveries, we use a glassware rack and low-flow pre-rinse nozzle which use less water, and we turn off the fryers during non-peak hours,” says Richard Johnson, a spokesperson for Ruby Tuesday.

Ruby Tuesday is also going green in the paper department. Instead of publishing weekly restaurant reports on paper, the restaurant chain is now distributing them electronically. When the company does need to utilize paper — for printing menus and paper bags — Ruby Tuesday considers postconsumer waste content and FSC certification. The restaurant’s menus are printed on Mohawk 50/10, which contains 15% postconsumer fiber and is acid free. Children’s menus are printed on 30% pcw paper and include recycling information designed to inform children.

“We will always be looking for new opportunities to go greener,” said Johnson. “Ruby Tuesday has a continual commitment to being green. We will have lots more of the same types of changes in the future.”
