Food waste has become a huge problem for the hospitality, public and commercial sectors and institutions that produce or sell food. Many food organizations who are producing or catering for large numbers are still sending their food waste to landfill. However, that number is gradually being reduced and with new tariffs in place for transportation and weight of food waste, it is now a costly exercise to go to landfill.
Most companies nowadays are looking for ways to be sustainable, reduce costs and handle their food waste in a better way, and make their staff more aware of best practices.
