Kalaloch Lodge is also committed to sustainability in our restaurant operation. Here are a few things we do:

• All fryer oil is run through a special filter which extends the life of the oil by 40%. This helps ensure cleaner, better tasting fryer oil and helps reduce oil consumption. The waste oil we do generate is stored and picked up by a local vendor who makes biodiesel out of it.
• Organic Waste (table scraps and prep scraps) are brought to a local farm for pig feed and to a local institution for their agricultural program. This diverts thousands of pounds of waste from the landfill and helps "complete the cycle" by helping turn waste back into sustainable food.
• Waste generate by our operation is separated and recycled.
