Exhibit B
Product Selection Standards
Rationale:
15
The production, use and disposal of many recreation and concession products contribute significantly to the
pollution of the air, water and soil and to the destruction of natural communities of plants and animals.
Educated, conscientious product selection can mean the difference between an environment safe for all living
things (including people) and a planet contaminated with toxic pollutants.
Standards:
* The use of polystyrene products are prohibited.
* All cups, bowls, plates, utensils and take-out containers must be made of starch based plastics.
* A recycling bin shall be placed next to all trash cans provided by the vendor. The recycling bin shall be equal
to or larger than the size of the trash bin.
* Vendor shall contract with a waste management company to provide pick up and process contents of
recycling bins on a regular basis.
* When possible, vendor shall purchase products made of recycled material and which are recyclable.
* All cleaning products and processes shall be environmentally sound.
