Fueling A Sustainable Future
We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action, because we believe that creating a better world for generations to come starts today.
Meet Crossroads Micro Farm
At Crossroads, we’re proud to feature the innovative Babylon Micro-Farm — bringing hyper-local, sustainable produce directly into our dining space. This state-of-the-art indoor growing system allows us to cultivate fresh herbs, leafy greens, and specialty plants right on-site, ensuring peak freshness and flavor in every dish. By harvesting just steps away from the kitchen, we reduce food miles, support sustainability efforts, and provide our guests with a truly farm-to-table experience.
Working Toward Zero Waste
We proudly support the sustainability goals at UTC. Here are a few active initiatives.
Robust Recycling
We recycle cardboard, metal, paper, glass, and accepted plastic products, and we recycle uncommon items—such as batteries and printer cartridges—wherever possible.
Collaborative Composting
We work with NewTerra Compost to collect organic materials—including food waste and compostable service items such as napkins and wooden stir sticks—to be composted into useable, nutrient-rich soil amendments.
Proactive Prevention
We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.
