Food Waste Reduction

To encourage the public and catering industry treasure food and reduce food waste when cooking, Greeners Action held the “Food Leftovers Cooking Competition”. From December to February, we sent invitation letters to different hotels, restaurants and catering industry for their support and participation. At the same time, we asked for the experience of different sectors through women groups, magazines, newspaper advertisements etc. We aim at promoting ideas exchange within the catering industry and families about the experience of making good use of the ingredients, thus promoting the idea of green meals.

“Food Leftovers Cooking Competition” was divided into two groups which are chefs and family. Every group of participants was required to cook a dish by using food leftovers in the preliminary round. According to Greeners Action, this competition received over 80 dishes and the shortlisted participants were invited to attend the final round, which was held at Towngas Cooking Centre in Causeway Bay today on 20th March. They needed to cook their dishes within 40 minutes.
