Planetgards Compostable Gloves: A Significant Step

The issue of food waste looms large in every kitchen across the nation, casting a shadow
over the sustainability efforts of the restaurant and supermarket industry.   The very idea of “zero waste” seems daunting, but a strategic approach is gradual change by establishing short, mid, and long-term goals to effect lasting transformation.  The adoption of the use of compostables along with the reutilization of food scraps to make and freeze multi-purpose broths are positive initial strides in the campaign to reduce food waste.  After all, Rome was not built in a day.

Adoption of Compostables:

Incremental change is impactful while realistic and achievable, key tenets of any goal.  An initial step with real significance consists of integrating compostable packaging,
gloves, and cutlery.  Businesses can align with eco-conscious practices as a strategic investment, charting a path towards a greener future.  Depending on the restaurant, the decision to advance to sustainability and zero waste could begin with a small but significant step where gloves for lightweight tasks are made of compostable BPI certified material. 

Enter Planetgards compostable gloves that are BPI certified, FDA compliant and perfect for lightweight on-and-off tasks.  BPI certified compostable products meet strict standards for compostability, breaking down in industrial composting facilities under the correct conditions.  Planetgards are the perfect solution for any restaurant that wants to align with sustainability.

The Power of Repurposing:

Incremental change is impactful while realistic and achievable, key tenets of any goal. Repurposing vegetable scraps to create rich and flavorful stocks minimizes organic waste,
laying the foundation for a multitude of different dishes and sauces. By portioning and freezing broths, operators can extend the shelf life and maximize resource utilization. This simple yet transformative practice not only aligns with sustainability objectives but also enhances operational efficiency, leading to significant time and cost savings for businesses. 

As the importance of reducing food waste and alignment with sustainability continues, a progressive approach that fosters both realism as well as effective change is necessary. By setting realistic goals and embracing incremental changes, businesses can pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.
