April 22nd is Earth Day, a time to reflect on how we can all make more mindful choices for the planet. At Trader Vic’s, we believe that sustainability isn’t just a once-a-year moment—it’s something we strive for every single day across our locations worldwide.
From the materials we use to the cocktails we craft, we’re proud to make choices that are better for the planet without compromising on the Trader Vic’s experience you know and love.
Sustainable Style: Bamboo Paddles & Decor
We’ve traded plastics for natural, renewable bamboo in our drink paddles and decorative elements. Each paddle is laser-etched, eliminating the need for toxic inks or dyes. This means they’re safe for composting—though let’s be honest, most guests love taking them home as a keepsake of their tiki night out!
Yes, That Straw Is Made from Pasta
Our commitment doesn’t stop at the bar. Across Trader Vic’s locations, we’re using compostable straws, including a fan-favorite made from—yes—pasta! 🍝 These fun, functional, and biodegradable alternatives are just another way we’re reducing single-use plastics while keeping your cocktail experience on point.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Whether it’s the sustainable materials, the eco-friendly packaging, or simply making smarter sourcing decisions behind the scenes, every step we take is part of a bigger mission: to bring island hospitality to the world in a way that honors the planet we all share.
This Earth Day, raise a glass to small changes that make a big difference.
Because at Trader Vic’s, sustainability is always in style.
