PALO ALTO, Calif., June 9 (AScribe Newswire) -- From the nation's first experiment with trayless dining in 2005 to a 20 percent total reduction in food waste in 2009, Bon Appetit Management Company is first in reducing food waste in public dining. What began in 2005 as an experiment by the Bon Appetit Management Company general manager at St. Joseph's College in Maine became a nationwide trayless dining craze by Earth Day 2009.
The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education predicts that most of the nation's 4,000 colleges and universities will institute trayless dining within the next five years.
