Waste food becomes quality food

Compass Group has worked to reduce food waste for several years, but with Plateful on board, they have found someone they can grow with.

- We have ten great staff restaurant concepts, and Plateful can play a role in each of them as our collaboration grows, says Daniel Skar.

So what's the actual value of the collaboration for Compass Group?

Daniel Skar asks us to visualise a fish.

- It comes from the sea and must be caught from a boat. The boat needs gasoline, manpower and electricity. On the boat the fish is handled before being brought to shore where it will be prepared further and frozen before it is transported quite a long way - for example from the north of Norway to the south, says Daniel Skar and continues:

- In the south it's stored, then it's handled again and packed and dispatched.

- That's a lot of steps. And costly - both financially and environmentally. Especially if we could instead say: We use the excess that has already been produced instead of placing a new order with everything that entails.
