Food Waste Prevention for Commercial Kitchens - City of Encinitas

Businesses will be provided educational resources to understand California’s organics recycling regulations.

On average, a restaurant loses over 4% of sales value on wasted food. This webinar covers practical strategies to reduce food waste and will help restaurants save money and benefit the community and planet.

Presented by City of Encinitas in collaboration with Solana Center, this 1-hour webinar will give food industry professionals the practical techniques and resources to cut back on food waste. A recent study showed that for every $1 invested in food waste reduction, businesses saved $6 or more.
