Wasted food amounts to $8 billion in Australia, quickly becoming a problem that needs an urgent solution. The cost of food waste is felt all over the country, both directly and indirectly, as land fill sites emit harmful gases that damage our environment.

There are many simple and cost effective steps you can take to do your part for the environment whilst saving money at the same time.

Label and store it 
Leftovers can be saved and stored with the Vogue plastic gastronorms, perfect for boxing up hot or cold food with a temperature range of -40˚C to +100˚C. These see-through polypropylene gastronorms are available in a variety of depths, from 1/9 to 1/1 sizing, perfect for commercial fridges and freezers that are gastronorm compatible. The Vogue dissolvable food labels are ideal for maintaining organisation in even the busiest of kitchens, allowing you to plan and organise meals and food with ease.

Freeze it
Our massive range of commercial refrigerators and freezers, from leading brands such as Polar, is sure to have what you need, whether you’re in need of a big double door freezer for frozen food storage or counter fridges that double up as a usable surface, perfect for the space conscious.

Offer it
If a customer can’t quite finish their meal, giving them the option to take the leftovers home with them is a beneficial solution to your food waste problems, allowing them to make the most of their money and reducing the amount of waste you have to deal with. A simple foam fast food container is an inexpensive and simple way to box up any leftovers.
