Dos Coyotes sustainability
Green is our favorite color
Since the first Dos Coyotes opened in 1991, we have been a leader in environmental initiatives among the Sacramento-area restaurant industry. Dos Coyotes’ commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of our business, from the way we wash dishes to the napkins in the dining room.
We’ve completed a comprehensive certification program through the Business Environmental Resource Center that includes energy and water conservation, pollution prevention, solid waste reduction and green building requirements. We’ve also achieved Gold Level Certification from Partners for a Greener Davis (one of the first restaurants to earn this distinction) for our demonstrated, ongoing efforts to comply with environmental regulations and reduce our carbon footprint.
In all of our restaurants you'll find:
Take-out containers
Compostable - made from sugarcane, not trees
Lids
Made from plant-based plastic (which requires 68% less fossil fuel to produce!)
Cutlery
Made from corn and other vegetable solids
Napkins
Made from 100% recycled paper
Faucets
Water conserving, automated faucets
Dishwashers
Special dishwashers that recycle rinsing water
