Zero Waste Myth: Unraveling Sustainable Solutions

Executive Summary: The world around us is suffering from a shortage in food, this shortage might harm the world in the long term and we might not have enough resources for the world in 50 years from now. Every single person on Earth is responsible for this mess, either because some of us buy more than what we need and throw the waste away or because some of us do not have the enough education to know more about the food crisis. In order to help the resources of planet Earth and save them from vanishing, our group came up with an idea that can help the resources and environment around us. The myth we investigated and found a solution for is the Zero Waste myth and we had to ask several questions like is it environmentally sustainable? Is it

Their idea is fresh, new and adds character to the business. Their idea is instead of throwing away the fresh produce leftovers of the day, they preserve and keep them to use in a “Special of the day” order the next day. The “Special of the day” order concept is to attract customers and have them try something new. This also creates a nice feel to the restaurant and makes it look more creative and inventive. It also serves our main goal that is using what’s left from the previous day in something useful that generates money instead of losing it. Another proposed solution that is being considered as a backup is conducting a waste audit. The waste audit would help us measure the exact amount of waste that is being wasted everyday. From that point we can estimate the perfect reduction amount in produce purchase order to avoid any shortages when it comes to serving customers what they desire. This audit will be conducted either way incase management decided to change their mind on the previous solution they would have something else to work

Although the concept might seem easier to implement, numerous outstanding grievances hinder its implementation. From the research conducted, there are both internal and external hindrances in the society that would affect it implementation. After the implementation of the ideas, there would be both short and long-term effects in the society. There would be improved way of life as well as a conserved environment free from unregulated waste disposal. The implementation would be done in phases depending on the workload in each
