Your Business is Food

Our free Your Business is Food program is designed to help businesses waste less food and improve profits.

The Your Business is Food program is free to join and provides business owners, managers and staff with information and resources to help reduce the amount of food thrown away.

Over six weeks, you'll receive support from the NSW EPA and a free Your Business is Food Toolkit (680KB PDF) with handy resources such as stickers, posters, and coasters to engage staff and customers and help improve existing attitudes and behaviors.

A simple food waste review will be conducted to work out where food is being wasted. Businesses will learn how much wastage is occurring during preparation, storage, or from customers’ plates, and choose several actions to reduce food waste. 

After six weeks, a follow-up review is required to measure how much the business has reduced food waste by implementing smart initiatives and promoting its achievements to staff and customers.
