Waste & Circularity

We work to reduce waste generated at hotels, including food waste and single-use items and increase recycling and composting. Food waste in particular is an area Hyatt engages hotels in monitoring opportunities for source prevention, optimizing sourcing and preparation practices, modifying menu design and rethinking buffet setups.

Reducing Food Waste

We are working toward our 2030 goal to reduce food waste per square meter by 50% compared to 2019 across managed hotels.

Hyatt helped develop food waste prevention training materials for the industry, available at HotelKitchen.org, in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA).
An increasing number of hotels use measurement tools for gaining granular insights into the types of food waste streams, further supported by colleague training. The data collected is used for identifying and executing improvement opportunities related to purchasing ingredients, menu planning and preparations.
