Award-winning ice cream shop launches industry-leading green initiative
New City Microcreamery announces a first-of-its-kind initiative to serve sustainable ice cream
Cambridge, MASS. January, 29th, 2020— In an effort to reduce waste, MassLive’s Best Ice Cream in Massachusetts winner, New City Microcreamery (New City), has launched a pioneering green initiative that rewards guests for bringing their own cutlery to the shop. Customers, who use their own spoons and forks to consume their ice cream and other treats, will now receive a twenty-five cent discount on their purchases.
Owner Jason Kleinerman says this initiative is new to the industry and is a natural next step in New City’s ongoing sustainability efforts, which include serving ice cream in compostable cups and offering reusable metal tasting spoons.
“The company’s aspiration is to take steps towards a sustainable experience by eliminating waste,” says Kleinerman. “This is an important part of our commitment to the communities we serve in Cambridge and Hudson. Even if five to 10 percent of our guests start bringing their own spoons, it will make a big difference in the amount of waste generated each day.”
