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 ^[1] is also going green ^[2] 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 ^[3], 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.”
