Levy Ireland launches Positive Carbon food waste reduction plan

Levy Ireland has announced the launch of a food waste reduction initiative in partnership with Positive Carbon.

Levy will use Positive Carbon’s advanced food waste monitoring system to track and analyse discarded food items, providing accurate data and valuable insights on waste patterns.

This information will help Levy Ireland teams to identify food waste sources and implement targeted reduction strategies.

The Convention Centre Dublin will be the first Levy Ireland partner site to take on the new scheme.

Lenny Fearon, culinary director, 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 achieve 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 is just the start; we will be introducing the Positive Carbon food waste reduction technology across our Levy Ireland portfolio.”

Alan Gallagher, director of event operations, 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.”
