Waste management committee

Germans Trias has a committee that ensures the best management of the waste generated. The committee develops, implements and monitors the Waste Management Plan and trains professionals in this area.

 

Pioneers in reducing food waste

The centre received an award in 2015 for a pioneer project in Europe to reduce waste of uneaten patient meals.

The project was carried out by the Kitchen Work Group, which analysed the reasons a meal is thrown away without having been touched, and it designed and implemented actions to fix it.

This way, we have managed to reduce the amount of food thrown away every day. The following video summarizes the project, which has become a new permanent area of work for the committee:
