The leading Slovenian catering provider rolled out a unique concept of zero food waste at Conventa<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In order to organise environmentally responsible and sustainable events, event organisers must consider all aspects of the event, including mobility, venues, accommodation, and catering. While many meeting planners often include sustainably-aware catering companies, they often overlook the impact of food waste and carbon footprint. At Jezer\u0161ek Catering<\/a>, though, they not only offer fresh, seasonal, and local products from trusted suppliers, they meticulously measure the food waste and ensure surplus food is donated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jezer\u0161ek Catering unveiled a unique Smart Scale and Eco Guardian Bin<\/strong> at Conventa\u2019s gala reception after the Meetings Star Awards. The unique waste-saving solution, powered by AI, enabled attendees to measure the amount of wasted food accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Jezer\u0161ek Catering further empowered attendees to consider their dietary choices by offering more sustainable local and seasonal dishes as alternatives to meat-based options. The renowned trailblazing catering company, which has been setting trends in the catering industry for over 40 years, developed a sustainable business strategy for 2021\u20132027<\/strong> two years ago, with the primary goal of reducing food waste placed at the centre of its sustainability vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResponsible Cuisine\u201d \u2013 a quintessential part of modern events<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As part of the \u201cResponsible Cuisine\u201d<\/em> awareness campaign, the catering company prompted guests to reflect on how each individual can contribute to reducing food waste and creating a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To minimize surplus food at the event, attendees were provided with recyclable packaging known as \u2018nezavre\u010dka\u2019<\/strong> to take home any leftovers. Together with the organisers, they donated the surplus food and dishes to volunteers and students who helped co-organise Conventa. Such Responsible campaigns help reduce food waste and, ultimately, the carbon footprint of events.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
