Kuti’s have four Restaurants serving authentic Bangladeshi dishes along with a site that caters for Thai cuisine.The company entered into an agreement with Greenzone Facilities Management to handle their waste streams.

Because of the nature of their business it was food waste recycling that was paramount to Kuti’s management. Greenzone went straight to the specialists in the area for food waste collection services and recycling, and quickly had 240 ltr food waste bins supplied to all of the Kuti’s sites along with bio – degradeable food waste bags.

A weekly food waste collection service was arranged and staff training was organised so that the staff were all fully aware what source segregation was required within the kitchen area.

Food waste created by food preparation and plate scrapings are the main sources of food waste in any restaurant environment and if these items were put into landfill, as many restaurants do, then the consequences mainly due to the methane gas emissions and subsequent global warming will be harmful to the environment now and for our future.
