Restaurant Waste Management And Recycling


Businesses in the hospitality and food services industry often produce large amounts of food waste. Not only is improving this fact an environmental imperative for restaurateurs, but it also makes good business sense. GWR Waste Management work with restaurant owners across the country to determine the best way to reduce and manage any unavoidable waste. Our industry-specific experience means we can create a solution tailored to your businesses and even provide additional washroom and sanitary services if required.

  • What is Agricultural Waste?

    There are a variety of different types of agricultural waste, all with different methods of disposal. For example, manure, oil, silage plastics, fertiliser, pesticides and herbicides; wastes from farms, poultry houses and slaughterhouses; veterinary medicines, or horticultural plastics.


    If agricultural waste is not disposed of properly, the results can be devastating!

Types Of Restaurant Waste


Even though food is the most obvious waste stream produced by restaurants, there are many more materials to consider. From glass bottles to plastic packaging to washroom and sanitary waste, the composition of restaurant waste is extremely varied. As a result, a holistic waste management strategy that targets many different aspects of your organisation is key.


What Is Restaurant Waste?


Discarded food forms a significant proportion of restaurant waste. Pre-consumer food waste is that which is generated through food preparation or improper storage of ingredients. Post-consumer food waste is the result of plate-scrapings. Understanding where your business is wasting large quantities of food has the potential to boost your overall sustainability, and improve your profit margins too. Restaurant waste also comes from the packaging used to transport supplies, glass bottles from drinks as well as washroom and sanitary waste.


How To Reduce Restaurant Waste


By spending some time monitoring your restaurant’s waste output, you’ll have a clearer idea of which areas of your business need attention. Strategies to reduce waste might include planning menus more carefully and offering greater consumer control over portion sizes, working with suppliers to reduce packaging waste and managing inventory better to minimise waste through spoilage. Carbohydrates form the largest segment of wasted restaurant food, so even something as simple as making your fries skin-on can make a difference to food prep waste. If you would like more handy tips specific to your business, our expert team will be happy to advise you.
