Hotels and restaurants produce large amounts of recyclable waste. They also require more specialized waste bins and transport trolleys. The most common type of waste is organic waste (prepared food and its ingredients), plastic, glass, metal, paper and cardboard, which can be disposed of with a variety of Rubbermaid waste bins and other outdoor bins. With proper planning, they can be reduced and largely recycled, which can help save valuable natural resources as well as save energy used to make new products. Proper planning can also help you effectively dispose of non-recyclable waste. Waste can be largely reduced through reduction, reuse and recycling. The article discusses the most effective methods of waste management in the food industry:
Ideas for reduction, reuse and recycling
1. Replace cutlery and dishes made of disposable materials with reusable ones. Reusable items prove to be economical in the long run as they can be used multiple times after cleaning, reducing the cost of garbage.
2. Use reusable napkins, tablecloths instead of disposable ones.
3. Buy big containers instead of buying many small ones. This will not only save money, but also reduce the amount of container waste.
4. If you see a pattern in food left by customers, consider using smaller portions. If necessary, change the cost accordingly, the lower cost will make you more competitive and also less food will be wasted.
5. Ask your suppliers to provide products that are packaged in recyclable materials.
6. Buy concentrated lotions and soaps and then distill them in-house rather than buying pre-distilled, ready-to-use solutions. Not only will you save money, you will also reduce the amount of container waste.
Features of a successful recycling program
1. Educating employees about the benefits of reuse and recycling is of paramount importance. Total employee participation can help make your recycling program successful.
2. Make sure your recycling bins and trash cans look different and are clearly marked with recycling stickers.
3. Containers for recyclable materials should be placed in convenient places so that everyone can reach them. This applies to containers located in the cooking area as well as containers located in the customer area.
4. Inform customers about your on-site recycling program. It will also help to improve your image as well as encourage customers to participate in the recycling of waste materials.
Top recycling container companies such as Rubbermaid, Waste Warrior, Ecolad, United Receptacles, Techstar, Witt and Safco have manufactured several containers with the food industry’s recycling needs in mind. Some of the most popular bins for workers are stackable recycling bins and pull-out carts. The most popular containers in the customer area are recyclable containers for aluminum cans, as well as designer and steel containers. You will find a wide range of recycling bins to suit the needs of your hotel or restaurant.
