Food court food waste – new system, big reductions

This Fifth Estate story –  JLL cracks the shopping centre waste conundrum, starting in Sydney’s inner west –  is interesting in multiple ways:

• The centre is owned by Local Government Super as part of its carbon neutral shopping portfolio  (super investing in the future)
• 20% waste reductions in the first month
• pulping facilities that divert waste from landfill to create biofuel and compost (value reclaimed; systems-level design)
• pay by weight for what’s not pulped, controlled through key-card locked bins (motivation and process design)
