Wasted Taste Y Waste

Food waste has always been quite a problem in a lot of restaurants and cafes around our community. Due to overpreparation and cancelled customer orders, a lot of good food ends up in the bin especially at the end of the day when the business is about the close, and most of us don’t see this. Binning food can sound so easy, but it is not just about wasting edible food, but it actually produces methane when they go into landfill, which we commonly have known as a type of greenhouse gas. So, environmentally speaking, food waste really is an alarming problem. 

Is there a solution to this problem? I guess Y Waste might have an answer. 

In this episode, I have my friend Taejin with us to learn about what Y Waste is, and we also have Sunny, who used to work at a restaurant that uses Y Waste to help their business and she is here to share some of her Y Waste experience with us.

In this episode, we have Maddison Ryder with us on the show. Maddison is an Industrial Designer who recently graduated from RMIT, and her work revolves around reducing food waste to support a sustainable future. Her most recent project ‘Lettuce Eat’ consisted of designing and crafting a series of single-use plates completely from waste lettuce, and it was recognised by the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), winning her the Victorian Design Challenge in 2019. We will be chatting with Maddison to talk more about her projects, as well as how we can all reduce food waste in our daily lives.
