Leisure Excess Food Waste, London
One of the world's most iconic hotels, came to us.
With impressive views overlooking the River Thames, The Savoy is one of the world's most iconic hotels. When it comes to sustainable practices, it’s also one of the best. Because almost half a million meals are served in its restaurants each year, an effective food waste policy was an essential part of the hotel’s aim to be one of the most sustainable luxury hotels in London.
"ReFood supported our objectives to divert excess food waste away from landfill, providing a flexible, safe and sustainable solution. Additionally, the service fits seamlessly with our existing operational structure, saving money and leading to some very impressive results."
Debra Patterson, Sustainability Manager, The Savoy
100% Waste Diversion
Following a successful trial in one of the hotel restaurants, the scheme was rolled out across the hotel. The food waste collection and recycling service we provide to The Savoy has contributed to a near perfect 100% waste diversion and recycling rate. Testimony to this is the fact that the hotel won this year’s SRA Award for ‘Best Food Waste Strategy’.
ReFood successfully helped cut down spending on landfill costs by £200 every week.
