At the restaurant, how can you help reduce food waste?

  • Whenever possible, reserve your meal.
  • Avoid overfilling your plate with food that you are unlikely to consume.

At home, how can you reduce food waste?

  • Draw up a shopping list according to household consumption and taking into account the food you already have.
  • Go shopping with time and without hunger, in order to purchase only what is really necessary.
  • Check the expiry dates of products. During storage, in the pantry and in the fridge, arrange the products with the shortest sell-by dates in the most accessible areas.
