Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

The three R's of recycling

Reduce, reuse and recycle are three concepts that promote sustainable living. The Smart Group have recently invested in ‘Chefs Eye’ to gain a better understanding of food wastage. We also work closely with food recycling companies such as Felix Project, Fare Share, Plan Zheros and Olio to upcycle any prepackaged and fresh ingredients and items in a safe manner.
