What the certification actually requires
Certification comes from the Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program. A restaurant has to meet a set of concrete operational criteria — not a pledge, and not a self-assessment nobody checks.
No polystyrene, ever
Foam takeout containers are the hardest single-use item to deal with once they leave the restaurant. Certification rules them out entirely.
Single-use only on request
Straws, cutlery and lids are handed over when someone asks for them, not by default. It is a small operational change with a large cumulative effect.
Proper recycling and reusables
Working recycling, reusable foodware for dine-in, and no plastic bags. These are the practices that separate real change from a sticker in the window.
