What?

Responding to the industry’s demand, the objective of waste2zero – the first awards of its kind in the sector – is to specifically give the out of home industry a platform to showcase best practice and recognise excellence in waste management & waste prevention. 

Why?
Waste remains endemic and a mega-trend and one of the biggest challenges to the foodservice and hospitality industry. Food waste, in particular, has emerged as one of the defining sustainability issues of our modern food system, whilst packaging and other non-food waste presents a perpetual and colossal problem.

In the out of home sector, 920,000 tonnes of food is wasted every year, of which a staggering 75% is avoidable. Simultaneously, 1.3 million tonnes of packaging and 0.66 million tonnes of other non-food wastes are also discarded.
