Food waste is one of the most visible waste streams generated by commercial kitchens, food manufacturers and hospitality operations — but putting food scraps into a separate bin is only one part of the solution.
For businesses managing food waste across multiple locations, the bigger challenge is deciding which recovery pathway makes sense for each site, while balancing available space, food waste volumes, operational requirements, reporting needs and cost.
On 23 September 2026, Nationwide Waste Solutions will bring together industry specialists from Enrich360 and ReWaste for a practical webinar exploring different approaches to commercial food waste management.
Beyond the Food Waste Bin: Smarter Ways to Manage Commercial Food Waste will look beyond a single solution and explore how businesses can build a more practical and effective food waste strategy.

What will we discuss?
During the webinar, we’ll explore:
- Why separating food waste is only the first step towards a more effective food waste strategy.
- How to compare the different recovery options available and identify what may work best for your operations.
- When traditional food organics collections are the most practical and cost-effective option.How onsite food waste processing can reduce volume, handling and collection requirements.
- How site size, storage, food waste volumes and operational constraints should influence your solution.
- How to create a consistent food waste program across multiple locations without forcing every site into the same model.
- How better visibility and reporting can help you measure performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
- How coordinated waste management can help match each site with the right recovery pathway while maintaining central oversight.
What will you take away?
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the different pathways available for managing commercial food waste and the factors that should guide the decision.
Rather than assuming there is one solution for every location, the webinar will help businesses think more strategically about where food waste is generated, how it can be managed and which recovery options are practical for their operations.
If you manage waste across food manufacturing, hospitality, aged care, commercial kitchens or other food-intensive operations, this session will provide practical ideas you can apply to your own sites.
If your organisation isn’t a major food waste generator but you’re curious about the solutions, technologies and opportunities shaping commercial food waste management, you’re still very welcome to register and join the conversation.
