Join the SUMAC Zero Food Waste Program and Reduce Food Waste

The SUMAC Zero Food Waste Program is a comprehensive solution that helps organizations eliminate food waste, reduce costs, and improve their environmental and social sustainability performance. At SUMAC we believe that responsible food management is a key pillar of corporate sustainability.

‍

The Food Waste Problem

‍

Food waste represents approximately one third of all food produced globally, generating enormous economic losses and significant greenhouse gas emissions. For organizations that handle food — restaurants, hotels, hospitals, supermarkets, corporate canteens — food waste can represent a significant cost and an unjustifiable environmental impact.

‍

The SUMAC Zero Food Waste Program

‍

Our program applies a systematic approach to eliminating food waste across the entire operational cycle: planning, purchasing, receiving, storage, preparation, service, and waste management. Key components include:

• Food waste diagnostic: detailed measurement of the quantities and types of food wasted at each stage of the process.
• Zero waste action plan: customized strategies to reduce, reuse, and recover food waste.
• Technology and tools: digital systems for real-time monitoring and management of food waste.
• Training and culture: training programs that generate genuine commitment to food waste reduction.
• SUMAC Zero Food Waste certification: recognition of the organization's commitment and achievement in food waste elimination.
