The following businesses are affected by these regulations:
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Public Houses
- Guest Houses
- Shops
- Supermarkets
- Chippers (sale of hot food off the premises)

Tip!
These regulations mean that many companies are now keen to engage in resource efficiency with regard to their food waste. Why not work with them?
