Event – Reduce your carbon impact and increase profits
Are you in the food and drink industry and based in the Dundee, Angus, Perthshire or Fife region? Then come along to a workshop where you’ll learn how to be more sustainable and increase profits at the same time.
The cost of food waste from the Scottish hospitality and food service sector is estimated at over £215 million per year and around two-thirds of it is avoidable. Food waste not only translates into lost profits but also into carbon emissions that contribute to climate change.
Zero Waste Scotland, in partnership with Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce, is running two pilot workshops, with slightly different formats, to help you to understand how to build a more environmentally sustainable business.
Monday 27th January – Workshop one
Reduce Food Waste and Single Use Plastic
Venue: Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce, City Quay, Dundee
Time: 3.30-6.30pm (includes networking/refreshment time)
Are you confused or curious about food waste and single use plastic?
At this workshop you’ll learn how to reduce food waste, saving you money on raw ingredients, time, energy and waste management costs. The workshop will include case studies from local food and drink businesses who have benefited from reducing their food waste.
It’s likely you’ve been unable to escape the onslaught of reducing single use plastics. We aim to bring some clarity and advice to help you make the right decisions, for your business and the environment.
Lastly, we’ll look at how food waste links into the Circular Economy and what support might be available for you.
