Food Waste Reduction
Data to Drive Change
Foodservice includes businesses, institutions, and schools, inclusive of restaurants, catering, cafeterias, and the hospitality sector. These businesses generate 12.7M tons of surplus food, more than 80% of which goes to landfill. Almost half of the total surplus is generated by full-service restaurants, and nearly three-quarters of the total surplus comes from plate waste, or customers not eating what they have taken or been served.
Foodservice is a challenging sector because of the diversity of models; restaurants, cafeterias, buffets, hotels, and other establishments all serve food to customers in similar but unique ways. However, behind the challenge lies a huge opportunity to first reduce waste in their own operations and then to choose a more environmentally compliant solution for the disposal of what can’t be reduced.
Recoup Technologies has a suite of solutions to tackle these complex problems.
