Zero-Waste Kitchen Hacks Every Hospitality Student Should Know

Why Waste Matters

India wastes millions of tonnes of food annually. In hotels, reducing waste is not just an ethical move—it’s smart business.

Four Essential Hacks

1. Inventory Magic: Track stock daily to prevent spoilage.

2. Creative Repurposing: Vegetable peels become crispy chips; fruit skins make zesty syrups.

3. Smart Portions: Use tasting spoons for buffet planning to cut plate waste.

4. Composting & Circular Economy: Convert organic waste into compost or partner with local farms.

Student Challenge

Spend one week measuring your kitchen’s food waste. You’ll be shocked at the numbers—and motivated to improve.
