Delicious food is just one side of gastronomy, which also has a much more unpleasant facet, waste. Unilever Food Solutions commissioned a new World Menu Report entitled ‘Sustainable Kitchens: Reducing Food Waste’ (download it here) revolving around one of the most disturbing issues in the field of restaurant industry. The team behind the research investigated the problem and surveyed 4,000 diners in the U.S., UK, Germany, China, Russia, Poland, Brazil and Turkey. This research unveils consumers’ attitude towards the methods of food waste disposal used by restaurants and diners as well as sustainability practices these venues adopt. In fact, the problem now is really huge considering the fact that “a single restaurant in the U.S. can produce approximately 25,000-75,000 pounds of food waste in a year depending on the size of the establishment, according to an extensive analysis of restaurants by the Green Restaurant Association (GRA),” as Unilever states in its press release.
