A kitchen that measures food waste
At a college kitchen, staff first weighed waste from preparation separately from food left on plates. Potato peelings went into green tubs, while plate waste went into grey ones. Each tub stood on a digital scale before being emptied.
The largest amount of untouched food was rice. The kitchen introduced a smaller standard serving, with extra portions available on request. A notice beside the serving area explained the change. Staff recorded the weights for six weeks and compared lunches rather than mixing lunch and evening figures.
