- The Charlotte Convention Center partners with local company, Earth Farms Organics, to pick up composting twice a week.
- The CRVA, across all venues, averages approximately 10 tons of food and food prep to the compost program annually.
- Center composts all organic and disposable materials collected in BOH (Back of House), reducing unnecessary landfill usage.
- Our culinary team partners with Stew of Sustainability and Second Harvest Food Bank of the Metrolina to repackage, freeze and donate any untouched, leftover food.
- Since 2018, the culinary team has processed for donation 70,000+ lbs. of food (1 lb. equates to 1 meal/person) to Stew of Sustainability.
- 75% of food waste is diverted from landfills and combustion facilities.
