Wise up on Waste Toolkit

Unilever Food Solutions have partnered with the Sustainable Restaurant Association to create a complete waste audit and waste reducing toolkit so you can start saving money and do your bit for the environment. Below you'll find all you need to get started on your waste management programme. We've outlined the stages and items you'll need to carry out your waste audit and identify how you can monitor and reduce your waste. You'll be able to follow through this process by downloading the e-brochure. You’ll need to register to download the tools.

The first stage is to carry out an audit using the toolkit below which will help you to monitor where waste occurs in your kitchen. You'll also find case studies on how other businesses have used it in the past, FAQs and a Food Waste data tracking sheet which will help you link your food waste management to KPIs. Secondly within the Smart Staff section you'll find a range of posters to utilise around the kitchen to highlight awareness and enable you to monitor progress. Within the 'purchasing tools' section you'll be able to manage stock to allow to buy more efficiently. The Mise en Place and recipe tools provide you with recipe templates which, as well as providing a simple way to standardise your recipes, can also be utilised for shopping lists. More importantly the 'event efficiency tool' will help you plan menus whilst tracking costs. The final element is on plate waste awareness and efficient monitoring.
