Abstract
Before making any changes to your lunchroom procedures that result in the reduction food waste, it’s important to get a feel for the types and quantities of waste being generated on a typical day. A baseline waste characterization helps to identify the major categories of waste that need to be addressed. It can also highlight simple changes that you can make to achieve immediate results.
