Since the start of the school year, the city of Carpentras has reorganized its central canteen's production, significantly reducing food waste and generating savings.

The reorganization of the central canteen in Carpentras, implemented since the start of the school year, has allowed for better identification of daily meal needs. This adjustment in production has led to a significant reduction in food waste, enabling the municipality to achieve savings.
A partnership has been established with the company HUKA for the collection of biowaste. This collaboration aims to strengthen the city's commitment to waste reduction and the valorization of food waste.
Starting in January, biowaste sorting will be progressively rolled out in school canteens, thereby extending collection to all establishments served by the city.
