What is being done to specifically monitor food being discarded by
students who do not finish their meals?

NCC are committed to reducing food waste across schools in Newport and
have implemented data tracking processes to understand how much food is
being wasted, focusing on areas of pre-production, post-production,
retail, out of date waste, and plate waste.

 

To specifically tackle plate waste, we are also working with independent
sustainability consultants on a research project, centred around
interventions that will reduce waste.

service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please contact me.
