BaxterStorey Ireland partners with Waste Knot
BaxterStorey Ireland has become the first foodservice business in the country to partner with Waste Knot.
BaxterStorey Ireland has become the first foodservice business in the country to partner with Waste Knot. The caterer is now working with producers Beechlawn Organics and Keelings to redistribute surplus seasonal vegetables into its kitchens.
Through this collaboration, locations will receive weekly Waste Knot boxes, each containing a changing selection of seasonal vegetables depending on availability. The initiative not only helps reduce waste across the supply chain but also provides chefs with an opportunity to create innovative, seasonal dishes using high-quality organic produce.
'Champions creativity'
Gar Byrne, head of food for BaxterStorey Ireland, said: “Our partnership with Waste Knot champions creativity, encouraging our chefs to think differently, push boundaries and be inspired in new innovative ways of cooking with all parts of the plant as well as completely new ingredients. By embracing a shared philosophy of being bold, brave and challenging the norm, we’re not only reducing food waste and driving a more sustainable future, but we are also delivering truly memorable, experience-led hospitality for our customers.”
Jess Latchford, founder of Waste Knot, explained: “Our approach works alongside conventional supply chains to create new opportunities for growers, providing a market for surplus and imperfect produce that might otherwise go to waste. At the same time, it empowers chefs to get creative with seasonal ingredients, transforming them into exceptional dishes. It’s a model where everyone benefits, from farmers and caterers to the wider environment that we all depend on.”
