Do you have guidelines and goals in regards to waste?
Firstly, we maximize all ingredients in order to minimize food waste. In case of food waste though, we have a compost in collaboration with “Refood” for both food and oil waste. Coffee grounds are directly poured in our kitchen garden as compost and natural fertilizers
