How to reduce food waste using three low-cost nudges

A practical guide for canteens and buffet restaurants

In 2022, BIT worked with Ne’ma, the UAE’s National Food Waste and Loss Initiative, to test three nudges to reduce food waste in hotel restaurants. The results were stunning: the nudges reduced food waste by up to 44% without affecting customer satisfaction.

To scale the impact of these nudges across the UAE, BIT created a step-by-step guide for restaurants and canteens. It includes support for how to assess baseline levels of food waste, implement the nudges and run a basic pre-post trial.

Now, we’re looking for a food service provider or food waste innovator in UAE (and beyond) and would like to work with us to reduce food waste, please get in touch.
