Ways to reduce FOOD WASTE in CNY

 1. Be smart what you display on buffets

  • Guests often expect to see a full buffet, and restaurants are always looking to please their customers. Therefore, in buffets, dishes are normally replaced long before they get empty. As a result, a lot of food ends up getting wasted.
  • A big challenge that hospitality and foodservice businesses face is finding the right balance to display enough food whilst ensuring waste targets are met. Research says that half of the food displayed in buffets is normally wasted. On top of that, food safety regulations mean that only 10-15% of the leftovers can be donated or re purposed.
  • You can still maintain a full offer by placing low-value items in front, to encourage higher consumption, and only refilling when necessary. In this way, you can reduce wastage and cost.



2. Homemade drinks

  • Instead to buying carton or canned drinks, why not try your hand in homemade solutions. It removes the need to dispose of empty cans which is good news for the environment and saves your wallet!

3. Cut the snacks


  • Cut down the number of snacks dominating the living room table during Chinese New Year.
  • Narrow the options to a select few homemade cakes and baked goods to prevent wastage after the auspicious celebration.


 4. Know your guests

  • If you are preparing food for visiting guests this Chinese New Year, make a list of all the possible people coming and have a simple head count. 
  • Cater the amount of food you are going to cook accordingly.

5. Ready the containers


  • Have a stack of recyclable or reusable containers ready to store the inevitable leftovers! 
  • If you are not going to consume the food any time soon, place them in the freezer to make them last longer.

6. Compost


  • When the inevitable happens and you are left with more leftover food that you can handle, let them decompose and turn into compost for your garden!
