ABOUT: (Food) Waste

From plastic straws to food buffets, the amount of waste and food waste hotels produce is significant! Therefore, in this first Insights edition and in our free guide, The Sustainability Hotel Insights: Waste, we show you how to reduce waste and food waste in your boutique hotel.

Waste is a key element of environmental sustainability (Planet), one of the 4 Ps of sustainability, which is why it’s critical to address this important topic.

FACTS: Did you know?

Did you know that in hospitality, food and beverage waste account for a huge amount of waste? According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States (2013), up to 30%! If food waste were a country, it would come in third after the United States and China in terms of global warming.1

That’s quite significant!

What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth,
but the planet can live without humans.
