Be it food, water or other essentials, with consumption comes a huge part of unnecessary waste, that is not just a economic set back, but an environmentally harmful aspect as well. The major points of wastage in restaurant dining are:
- The amount of packaging material that is disposed of takeaway meals can actually be enough to help you circle round the earth for about three complete times.
- More than about half the food that is served in a restaurant is wasted on a daily basis that acts as a great source of economic wastage as well.
- The energy that is used in a commercial kitchen is often wasted to a great extent either due to inefficient service of the equipment served by the commercial kitchen equipment suppliers or the restaurant staff themselves.
- An excess of about 1500 gallons of water is wasted by the restaurants. This actually poses to be a disaster in a time when the amount of drinking water made available is becoming quite limited.
Over a period of times these problems either remained ignored or were not catered to and solved in a complete manner. But the recent times have been witnessing restaurant owners and people in relation to the business sphere paying much more attention to the same and trying to find out solutions to eradicate the problems.
