Are we taking the most appropriate steps to use ingredients in a sustainable manner in our bars? And what would we do if the ingredients we hold so dear simply weren't around anymore? Join a bartender, a botanist and two botanical buyers as they discuss the steps to controlling the ingredient chain from producer to consumer, and learn about practical steps that can encourage us to use our ingredients better. The seminar will include links and a platform that helps engage bartenders and owners in a way of making real changes in their bars, and join the debate on whether we can, and should be controlling more of our input into our ingredients.
2. PRACTICAL SUSTAINABILITY
DIFFERENT ISN'T DIFFICULT
OUR AIM IS TO DISCUSS THE IDEAS AND IDEALS
OF HOW TO INCORPORATE A REALISTIC
PRACTICE OF SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN A BAR
THIS IS A MAJOR PART OF WHITE LYAN AND
DANDELYAN
WE WILL DISCUSS POINTS OF VIEW FROM THE
COFFEE, FOOD & DRINK INDUSTRIES
SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER
FROM BOTH A MORAL AND MONETARY
PERSPECTIVE

3. MISCONCEPTIONS
DIFFERENT IS DIFFICULT!
IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF BARRIERS
TO BEING SUSTAINABLE
SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPRACTICAL
IT CAN FOLD INTO EXISTING PRACTICES WHILST
MAINTAINING LUXURY
IT COSTS MONEY
WASTE IS COSTLY TO A BUSINESS AS WELL AS THE
ENVIRONMENT
IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
STIMULATING DISCUSSIONS AND TAKING SMALL
STEPS ARE VITAL TO CREATING REALISTIC
CHANGE

5. AN IMPRACTICAL SETUP
WHAT ARE WE WASTING
FRUIT SHELLS, EGGS, GARNISHES

NAPKINS
BOTTLES

PACKAGING
YOU CAN MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES
WHITE LYAN REMOVES MUCH OF THIS WASTE BY
REMOVING THESE ITEMS FROM THE BAR BUT THIS
INVOLVES DRASTICALLY CHANGING YOUR
PROPOSITION TOO
YOU CAN MAKE SMALL CHANGES
BY FOCUSSING ON THIS WASTE, YOU CAN
ADDRESS THE OUTPUT BUT UPHOLD YOUR
ORIGINAL IDENTITY – AND SAVE TIME AND
MONEY

WHAT ARE WE WASTING
FRUIT SHELLS, EGGS, GARNISHES

YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES THAT FIT WITHIN YOUR CURRENT CONCEPT
CHANGES DON’T NEED TO BE DRAMATIC AND AN UPHEAVAL OF YOUR EXISTING PRACTICES,
THEY CAN FOLD WITHIN
YOU CAN MAKE SAVINGS
WASTED TIME, ENERGY AND MATERIAL IS IMPRACTICAL AND CAN BE ADDRESSED FROM THE
TOP DOWN

WHAT CAN BE DONE
VINEGARS, ADVOCAAT, NO GARNISHES!
METAL STRAWS… NO STRAWS! OR CHARGE
REUSABLE COASTERS
BUY IN BULK - REUSABLE CONTAINERS
DRAUGHT
BUILT DRINKS!
RECYCLE! REUSE!
COLLABORATE WITH ALTERNATIVE USERS
8. FLAVOUR - A STARTING POINT
MOST OF THE THINGS WE THROW AWAY STILL
HAVE FLAVOUR
NOT ONLY IS IT WASTEFUL, IT'S IGNORING OR
NEGATING THE FULL USE OF YOUR INGREDIENTS
FOUR COMMON BAR INGREDIENTS USED
COMPLETELY:
MINT STEMS - GARNISH/SYRUPS
LIME HUSKS - FALERNUM
COFFEE GROUNDS - OIL

In collaboration with a external company we

which have been taken in consideration 4
main factors of risk and for each it has been
expressed a level.
Based on this have been identified the

16. The botanicals – sustainability and consistency (just few
examples)
GIUSEPPE GALLO
aka Ivano Tonutti
Re-introduce cultivation of botanicals to preserve the
biodiversity
• Roman chamomile – Pancalieri/Piedmont (Italy)
Support cultivation of botanicals having lot of manual
operations with long term visibility of needs
• Orris – Tuscany hills (Italy)
Support qualified suppliers in starting re-
forestation programs to prevent lack of r
aw material
• Cinchona barks – Ecuador
17. The botanicals – sustainability and consistency (just few
examples)
GIUSEPPE GALLO
aka Ivano Tonutti
The consistency of the quality is guaranteed tks to:
• the in deep knowledge of the technical and sensorial characteristics of each botanical
• the partnership developed with selected suppliers and their local contacts
• the risk assessment done to identify critical botanicals and create for these alternative sourcing/c
ultivation areas
The above mentioned program allow us to
• Have information in advance about possible quality issue of a crop
• Have the precedence vs other to have the best quality material even in case of issues
• Blend batches of different quality level to reach the required level of quality for a botanical
