Positive Carbon's food waste monitoring system uses ‘cutting-edge’ sensors to track and analyse discarded food items, providing accurate data and valuable insights on waste patterns. This information will help to empower Levy Ireland teams to identify food waste sources and implement targeted reduction strategies.
Lenny Fearon, culinary director at Levy Ireland, said: "Levy Ireland is delighted to partner with Positive Carbon to address the critical issue of food waste. This scheme aligns with our commitment to sustainability and our goal of decreasing food waste on our mission to achieving net zero. By leveraging Positive Carbon's technology, we can make a measurable impact and set a new standard for the hospitality industry.”
The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) will be the first Levy Ireland partner site to embark on its Positive Carbon food waste reduction journey. Minimising environmental impact and ensuring a climate conscious and sustainable operation is key to its long-standing relationship.
Alan Gallagher, director of event operations at The Convention Centre Dublin, added: "Food waste is a significant contributor to our carbon footprint. We are proud to collaborate with Levy Ireland and Positive Carbon to implement innovative solutions that use technology, not only to help us achieve our sustainability goals but to support our clients in delivering on their sustainability ambitions. This initiative demonstrates our dedication to responsible practices and our commitment to creating a more sustainable future."
