Zero Waste Scotland is hosting a webinar on Tuesday 30th June at 2pm dedicated to how you can cut costs by cutting food waste.
As coronavirus lockdown measures begin to ease, thousands of Scottish hospitality businesses will now be assessing how they can run their businesses safely and cost efficiently.
The real cost of food waste to Scottish businesses like yours is £215m per year. Reducing this presents an immediate and measurable, positive impact to businesses’ bottom line.
What’s more, these are cost-savings that are often in ‘plain sight’ and easy to implement.
Meanwhile, on the global stage food waste is a key contributor to climate change. If the world’s food waste and food loss were a country, it would be the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter after China & The USA.
From a Scottish perspective, food waste accounts for 5% of total waste by weight, but is responsible for 22% of all Scotland’s carbon impacts.

• The ‘real’ hidden cost of food waste to Scottish hospitality businesses
