Episode Synopsis


Sustainability Bites, in association with Nestle Professional, is a podcast which unpicks the key sustainability issues affecting the hospitality and foodservice sector. This episode focuses on the hot topic of waste.But this is not just another podcast on waste. With waste making up around 3% ofHaFS businesses footprints, we ask - is waste really a strategic priority? And if so, why?How can we overhaul our industry’s existing piecemeal approach to tacking waste todrive transformational change? And we will paint a picture of a waste-free future thatcan be achieved using the technology available to us today.We will talk to Nestlé Professional, Sodexo and WRAP to discuss their achievementsin tackling packaging and food waste, as well as innovations in wider industry, suchas innovative new eco-options that can be recycled within existing infrastructure (e.g.sea-weed based options), and reusables, such as those trialled by McDonalds or theuser-friendly reuse models being rolled out at venues and festivals.Food waste has risen up the agenda because its significant carbon impact makesreducing food waste vital to achieving net zero targets. Our panellists will shareinsights of how organisations such as Nestlé and Sodexo are harnessing food savingto achieve carbon and cost reductions.Sokhna Gueye - Head of Packaging, Nestlé UK&ISophie Whitfield - Head of Corporate Responsibility Engagement, Sodexo UK&IEleanor Morris - Sector Specialist, WRAPAmy Fetzer - Footprint, Chair
