Green restaurants

I have developed a resource on behalf on Sustainability Victoria which is free to down load: Up front is the quick steps and if they choose to go for more rigour that is included there. The focus is on waste at this stage however the 15 mins tool box talks can get the conversation going regarding broader issues of sustainability. Included is a training program that can be conducted off site. I have under taken training for catering companies and restaurateurs. http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/www/html/1248-waste-wise-catering.asp

Looking for ideas regarding recycling food scraps and other reusables
2006-09-26 00:57:12 UTC
As already suggested there are schemes that take unserved food such as One Umbrella here in Melbourne Last year I created a workbook for the hospitality industry re waste. This is free to download from Sustainability Victoria website (Waste Wise Catering Toolkit) http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/www/html/1250-waste-wise-catering-toolk it.asp?intSiteID=4 In the case study section it talks about how some organisations have used the food scraps for their garden. Environment Victoria were also looking at setting up a CBD scheme.

Waste Practices at Events
2006-03-21 00:23:35 UTC
Hi all
I am currently looking for examples of waste diversion activities in north America and Europe. There appears to be a trend (may be a small trend not sure yet)for event organisers to provide one waste stream and then have the waste segregated at a recycling facility. This means that all waste at an event would be placed in the one bin. This is not the trend of Waste Wise events (government certified events) here in Australia but it is happening at some large events, which would be inconsistent with domestic recycling. Welcome your thoughts and direct egs. Of good event practices as I am currently compiling a strategic plan for the sector on behalf of a government.
Thank you
Monica
