Stop Food Waste Day 2026

The Office of Sustainability and Campus Dining brought awareness to  food waste or ort (or the food scraps left over after a meal). 

The Office of Sustainability was in Connection Cafe in the UC all day on Wednesday, April 29 to demonstrate how much food gets wasted after dining! We shared how you can reduce food waste and how UTA composts its food scraps!

During the event we also collected data on the food waste that resulted from the day's operations. To access the Food Waste Audit Report and learn more about how we embed sustainability into dining on campus, please visit our webpage on Sustainable Dining.
