Sustainability
Here at the Boeing Center at Tech Port, we are focused on being true to San Antonio and committing to sustainable practices that lessen our environmental footprint. In 2023, we worked tirelessly to reduce our energy and water consumption by applying trend data acquired through our 2022-2023 standard operating practices into a new daily operations plan that enables us to reduce energy consumption by approximately 50%.
In addition to energy efficiency practices, our food and beverage department has adopted more compostable and biodegradable service practices. We continue to explore what available options are on the market and balance cost vs. sustainability. We have also introduced plant-based food options across all menus to provide food options that require a much smaller carbon footprint. Limiting waste in all areas of our facility and repurposing food through donation to local government funded food banks, we have embarked on implementing sustainability initiatives throughout our facility.
Since opening, Boeing Center at Tech Port, has incorporated recycling receptacles throughout the facility and follow heavy recycling procedures along with recycling cardboard as well. We also provide free eco-friendly women’s sanitary products in all women’s restrooms.
