Practices (GHP) and

• Good Manufacturing

Practices (GMP)

Page 31: FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT - NWU | North-West · PDF fileFood waste handling and disposal form an integral part of food safety management Food waste handling Food waste disposal Food safety

The Waste Management Hierarchy in

Foodservice

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” which

has been used for many years to

describe waste control options

other than disposal at land fill sites

The Waste Management Hierarchy in

Foodservice Source reduction is the most powerful

and effective thing we can do to manage

waste. By designing systems and

policies to prevent, minimize, or avoid

waste in the first place

Reuse 1) redeploying overproduced food

elsewhere on the menu (provided you

comply strictly with food safety

guidelines) 2) donating to a food

recovery program that will provide it to

those in need

Recycle/Compost is the final good option

prior to disposal Recycle

Reduce
