STAMFORD — When city representative Bob Lion visited Teena’s Apizza, a new pizza place on Main Street, he was pleasantly surprised to see all the materials with his meal were recyclable — including his straw. According to Derek Furino, chef and owner of Teena’s Apizza, the restaurant, which opened last month, only uses recyclable products, including totally compostable straws made from plant material. “We just want to be eco-friendly,” Furino said. “We recycle and we’re trying to be on board with everyone else. I have children and I want them to have a safe environment as well.” The restaurant also recycles all bottles and cans and doesn’t use any foam. While biodegradable materials are more pricey, Furino said it pays off.
