Types of Catering Waste

Catering businesses are fast-paced, dynamic and varied – and they produce an equally varied array of waste. Due to the nature of this sector, food waste is a major waste stream, but other types are also produced. From cooking oil to glass to plastic packaging to dangerous items like knives, many materials disposed of by catering businesses can be managed sustainably.

What is Catering Waste?

Catering businesses provide food services to social events or remote sites and locations such as hotels, hospitals, pubs, cruise ships, filming sites and more. Catering waste is therefore defined as any waste produced by these businesses during their activities. This can include uneaten processed and cooked food as well as scraps from food preparation.

How to Reduce Catering Waste

There are many ways your catering business can minimise avoidable waste. Consider buying food from local vendors with less packaging, and plan your menu effectively. This might include providing greater control over portion size so there is less wasted food, and planning options in line with demand and seasonality to maximise use of produce. It is also important to take charge of your inventory and make sure edible food isn’t going past its use-by date. If you need further help rationalising your waste production, our friendly team can provide expert guidance.
