With the issue of waste and sustainability remaining a focus in the hospitality industry, as part of its Sustainable Future programme, Bunzl Catering Supplies is once again headline sponsor for the prestigious ‘Footprint’ waste2zero Awards,  recognising excellence in Waste Management and Prevention in the out of home food and drink sector.

The entry deadline for the annual waste2zero awards is extended to 20 SEPTEMBER by popular request. So if you have yet to upload your 2024 entry, the time to do so is now – click here.

Among the many areas of business that organisations seek to mitigate in pursuit of sustainability, waste is one that will just not go away. Waste remains endemic and one of the biggest global challenges today. Much best practice is in evidence; but an unacceptable waste culture also remains prevalent.

The objective of waste2zero – the first awards of its kind when it was launched in 2017 and now in its eighth annual cycle – is to specifically give the out of home industry a platform to showcase best practice and recognise excellence in this vital area.

An elite panel of judges, experts in waste, packaging and sustainability, review innovations and initiatives from organisations large and small in areas such as resource management, closed loop, recycling and food redistribution. Clear leadership is evident from some organisations in the sector who are demonstrating operational strategies that reduce waste impacts to the environment up and down supply chains.

If you have an initiative you are proud of in this area then you should be entering waste2zero. The winners will be announced at the waste2zero awards dinner on Thursday 21st November at the famous In & Out Club in London’s St. James’s Square.
