The Caterer Rethinking Food Waste Webinar

With the new government ‘Simpler Recycling’ regulations coming into effect from 31 March 2025, hospitality operators across England must adapt their waste management strategies or face fines, enforcement action and potentially prosecution.

Up to 920,000 tonnes of food waste is discarded by hospitality and foodservice outlets every year, contributing to landfill waste and environmental damage.

The shift towards separate food waste and recycling collections has the laudable aim of reducing environmental impact, but how can operators ensure it doesn’t affect their bottom line?

In this webinar, sponsored by Rubbermaid Commercial Products, we take a look at what operators must do to prepare for the upcoming food waste legislation changes. Our expert panel will uncover ways to reduce food waste levels, helping to minimise costs and balance environmental responsibility with financial success.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • Practical strategies to devise and adjust your food waste management practices
  • What your business needs to do to prepare for the upcoming food waste legislation changes
  • What partnerships are available with organisations and suppliers to ensure efficient and sustainable waste management
  • How to optimise your operations to reduce food waste levels
  • How a sustainable food waste strategy can benefit your business financially
