Hospitality
The hospitality segment comprises businesses that prepare and serve food and beverages, including hotels, restaurants, catering services, corporate restaurants and other eateries. This segment plays a crucial role in the food industry and focuses on providing eating and drinking experiences to customers, ranging from quick meals to elaborate dinner dishes.
Challenges with food waste in the hospitality segment
1. Overproduction
To always meet customer demand, catering establishments often prepare more food than necessary, leading to surpluses.
2. Unpredictable demand:
Fluctuations in the number of guests and their food preferences can lead to food surpluses.
3. Preparation and cooking residues:
Residues and cutting waste are often generated during meal preparation.
4. Decay and ageing:
Food may spoil or reach its expiry date before it is used or sold.
5. Customer residuals:
Customers often leave food on their plates, contributing to food waste.
6. Food safety:
Strict regulations on food safety can lead to throwing away food that is still edible but no longer meets standards.
7. Environmental impact:
Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions during both production and waste disposal, posing a significant environmental burden.
8. Economic losses:
The cost of ingredients, labour and waste disposal spent on producing unused food leads to economic losses.
Solution
By deploying the Ecocreation Ecodigester at catering locations, all food waste can be converted to raw material within 24 hours. This raw material can then be used as a soil improver. As a result, catering locations reduce their food waste, reduce their carbon footprint, save costs and make a positive contribution to the environment.
