The free report is available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pata.org\/store\/publications\/pata-buffet\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Globally, a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food is lost or wasted per year, according to the FAO (2019). That is, one-third of all food produced for human consumption in a world where\u00a0842 million people are undernourished. As one of the largest global economic sectors, tourism and travel has a key role to play in stepping up action to help control and minimize food waste at all stages, from supply and inventory, to preparation and service.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The tourism and hospitality industry serves billions of meals every year in restaurants and hotels. In fact, according to a study by Nielsen and the Green Restaurant Association in 2004, 95% of a restaurant\u2019s general waste can typically be recycled or composted.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"425\" class=\"wp-image-33739\" src=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/PATA-report-.jpg\" alt=\"New PATA food waste report\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/PATA-report-.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/PATA-report--300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>PATA Food Waste Report.

The report presents data and case studies on current initiatives, as well as, providing recommendations to organisations seeking to begin their food waste reduction journeys.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Case studies include:\u00a0Alila Villas Uluwatu,\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Cordis, Auckland, Costa Cruises, Easia Travel, Frangipani Langkawi Resort &amp; Spa, Grand Hyatt Singapore, Jetwing Hotels,\u00a0Luang Prabang Handle With Care, Bangkok Marriott, Marquis Queen\u2019s Park, New South Wales Environment Protection Authority &#8211; Organics Infrastructure, ORCA,\u00a0Rembrandt Hotel &amp; Suites Bangkok,\u00a0Uniworld, and\u00a0Vancouver Airport Authority.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"100\" class=\"wp-image-33742\" src=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/logo.png\" alt=\"New PATA food waste report\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The report is the culmination of PATA\u2019s BUFFET food waste reduction campaign over the last year, which launched in January 2018 (further\u00a0<a href=\"\/?p=23749\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>). The Campaign brings together multiple-stakeholders to raise awareness, develop and share resources, and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals by tackling food waste. These SDGs include acting to achieve zero hunger (SDG2), ensuring responsible consumption and production (SDG12), taking urgent action to combat climate change (SDG13) and fostering partnerships (SDG17). The campaign also includes a free toolkit (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pata.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/BuffetToolkit-11Dec18.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>) and accompanying resources to tackle food waste.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Cutting food waste within the hotel and hospitality trade makes good environmental, social and economic sense for companies, as PATA\u2019s CEO, Dr. Mario Hardy highlights, \u201c<em>The benefits of doing something about food waste (is) clear \u2013 cutting food waste will boost your triple bottom line and will have a massive effect down the supply chain.\u00a0<\/em>Food loss and waste amount to a major squandering of resources, including water, land, energy, labour and capital.
