Planetpro: Working towards zero waste

Even for the environmentally-minded among us, when you start to add up everything you throw away on a weekly basis, the answer may be surprising. 

There are many reasons to reduce food wastage. It is clearly one of the right things to do in terms of protecting the environment: our planet has limited resources and we need to use them wisely if we want them to last for generations. Moreover, it can save your business money—which is more important than ever in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And finally, prevent wastage is important to your customers.

That means it should also be important to you if you want to attract new guests and keep the ones you have.
