This document discusses reducing food waste through various strategies. It notes that 4-10% of food purchased by U.S. foodservice operations is thrown out before reaching customers, representing $9-23 billion in annual pre-consumer waste. Successful prevention requires changing behaviors through measurement, automation, and interventions like production adjustments, optimized ordering/menus, and influencing consumer behaviors with signage and portion sizes. Long-term tracking of waste metrics is key to driving continuous improvement.

- 50. Specific Strategies Educational Signage Messages that Change Behaviors • Moving from trays to “trayless” dining (Study by Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition;32%reduction in food waste when trays are made unavailable) • Using right-sized serving utensils to ensure correct portioning • Staffed service rather than self-service models to control portioning • Signage matters (Kansas State US study found simple signs reminding people not to waste food resulted in 15%reduction of wasted food) • What’s on the sign matters too (Ohio State US study found that when diners know scraps go to compost they waste more) • Injunctive norms to imply the approved behavior (Ex: 95%of our customers care about not wasting food) • Loss aversion to highlight what’s lost by not taking action (Ex: Wasted food today could have fed 500 hungry people) • Clear calls to action (Ex: Take only what you will eat; come back for seconds) • Vivid presentation of data showing how much food was wasted in a staggering way Industry Insights
