Published by the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, the “Manual for Hotels - Reduce Food Waste, Cook for Your Guests,” released in June 2021, serves as a comprehensive guide for hoteliers. It provides guidelines, recommendations, and methods to effectively minimize food waste in hotel kitchens, thereby reducing the amount of bio-waste sent to landfills. This initiative is vital for promoting sustainable waste management practices in the hospitality industry and mitigating environmental impact. (The original piece available only in Croatian)
