SCAA, Green Cafe Network and the Food Service Technology Center are proud to announce a new and innovative project to guide and support café operators who want to run a greener business and potentially reduce costs in the process. The Green Guide is a series of digital booklets, published in modules that will cover key strategies for cafe operators in energy conservation, waste reduction, water conservation, and toxics reduction. Green Cafe Network is providing technical assistance for the Guide's content, with key research and expertise from the Food Service Technology Center (FSTC).

Module 3 offers cafe owners cost-effective strategies to curb the amount of waste their café’s produce. Tips cover performing a waste audit, developing a plan, engaging your staff in the effort, recycling, composting, and much more.
