Zero Waste Scotland | Hospitality sector urged to ditch disposables

30 January 2023 Members' News

Zero Waste Scotland 190px ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland is calling on hospitality businesses to take steps to slash single-use waste, after a pilot scheme saw a huge fall in the use of common disposable items. In 2021, Zero Waste Scotland launched Ditching Disposables initiative to test several methods aimed at reducing the use of disposables across multiple businesses. After a 12-month period the pilot identified six steps businesses can take to slash single-use waste. These include switching sauce sachets for refillable bottles; charging for single-use cups and offering a reusable alternative; and making straws available on request only.
