Opportunities in Culinary Sustainability


Webinar Description

Join us for an enlightening webinar focused on creating culinary sustainability within the food and beverage industry. "Opportunities in Culinary Sustainability" dives deep into practical strategies aimed at reducing waste and minimizing environmental impacts during daily operations and catered events.

In this engaging session, participants will explore key topics, including:

• Waste Reduction in Daily Operations: Discover how to support local and innovative products while advocating for environmentally friendly practices among vendors. Learn about the benefits of utilizing reusable serviceware to elevate guest experiences and reduce waste, as well as the importance of designing plastic-free retail packaging in collaboration with manufacturers. 

• Recycling and Composting Initiatives: Understand how to set up effective recycling infrastructures and the significance of clear signage. Explore composting options, especially in properties with access to commercial facilities, and learn to critically assess your operations for areas of improvement.

• Catering with a Sustainable Approach: Differentiate between "waste reduction" and the ambitious goal of "zero waste" for special events. Gain insights into planning events that minimize landfill waste by ensuring all guest items are either compostable, recyclable, or edible, and learn how to engage with vendors to advocate for sustainable practices.

• Innovative Solutions for the Future: Delve into cutting-edge sustainability practices such as hydroponics and aquaponics and consider the benefits of cup rentals for events.
