At Harts Barn Cookery School are committed to a Zero Waste environment. We follow the principles of the 5 steps to achieve Zero Waste
REFUSE:
We only buy as required and avoid stock as much as possible.
We only buy from suppliers who use a minimal amount of packaging
REDUCE:
We buy as much as possible from local suppliers to reduce food miles
We inform customers of alternative transport options when they are visiting us to reduce their impact on the environment
REUSE:
We turn surplus ingredients into other products through fermentation and dehydration
We ask customers to bring their own containers to take their items home with them after a class
RECYCLE:
All packaging used is recyclable
We support upcycling
ROT:
Any food waste that we have not been able to use is put in the compost bin
Used oil is sieved and re-used. When it reaches the end of its useable life the oil is collected to be turned into biofuel.
