Food waste
Skólamatur is very much about living in harmony with the environment and nature, and a strong emphasis is placed on minimising food waste.
Skólamatur sorts all its trash and returns the separated items to the garbage reception. In purchases, it is emphasised that packaging is made of recyclable material and disposable products are kept to a minimum.
Staff are well informed and knowledgeable about food handling and proper portioning where applicable. They receive instructions on how to cut e.g. vegetables and fruits, how to serve food to minimise waste and how best to serve food with regard to food waste.
All useful food leftovers are handed over to Family Help Iceland, which forwards them to families in need.
