A new report showing caterers and the public pulling together to cut waste is now available to download: Exploring opportunities for reusables in hospitality and foodservice. Produced by Footprint Intelligence in association with dishwashing specialist Meiko UK.
Paul Anderson, managing director of Meiko UK and chair of the Foodservice Equipment Association said at the report launch: “Waste disposal costs are going through the roof, storage space for bins is at a premium, and customers can’t stand packaging. Everybody hates waste, and we need to eliminate single-use items wherever possible.
“The issue of reusables and cutting single-use products is having an extraordinary effect on the UK catering industry.
“What is heartening is that we are witnessing a core change in societal behaviour, with the public and caterers pulling together to reduce waste. We are making it happen, and you can find out how by reading about the opportunities for reusables in hospitality and foodservice.”
The report details both the challenges and solutions, finding evidence that reuse schemes are working. Download the report here.
