Global bar consultant and bartender, Matt Whiley, has joined forces with Compost Connect\u2019s zero waste movement through his new South Eveleigh (Sydney) venue and the world\u2019s first permanent no-waste bar, <\/span>Re<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Whiley approached this launch with a view to remove all waste. He\u2019s interrogated every aspect of the process to build a bar that rethinks the wasteful practices so prevalent in hospitality: from the materials and the supply chain, all the way down to the drinks themselves.<\/span><\/p>

For Whiley, Re\u2013 is a way to start a conversation about waste, but it\u2019s also an opportunity to build sustainability into the very fabric of a venue. And he has, literally. The \u201cleather\u201d on the banquettes is made from pineapple-leaf fibre. The tabletops, the staircase and the bar look like terrazzo, but are made from recycled milk bottles.<\/span><\/p>

In a typical pub or bar, food waste accounts for a whopping 27 per cent of all waste!<\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s why the team at Re are working hard to minimise food waste with their five bin system. They have a bin for towels and napkins (which are laundered on-site), bins for recyclable glass and paper, a bin for food scraps to be composted, and a general waste bin \u2013 which is barely ever used.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNever has this subject been more important. Food waste costs our economy $20 billion a year \u2013 more than five-million tonnes of food ends up in landfill; one in five bags of groceries winds up in the bin,\u201d says Whiley.<\/span><\/p>

Bartender Matt Whiley says it\u2019s time for change. \u201cIt\u2019s never been more important to recognise that we all have a responsibility to make changes now that are desperately needed to shape our future for the better. We\u2019ve developed Re with an overriding commitment to sustainability with a minimal-waste mentality and so this new composting network, is going to help us maintain this ethos by diverting any waste created from landfill to compost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Re shows what can be achieved and Matt Wiley is keen for more hospitality businesses to join him. Watch his Never Waste documentary trailer below.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
