Bakery food waste management practices

Overview

Discussions among former employees have highlighted diverse methods for handling unsold bakery products. Reported practices include returning goods to suppliers for use as animal feed, donating surplus to charitable organizations, or repurposing items into products like breadcrumbs or croutons.

Despite these efforts, some workers reported that significant quantities of unsold food are discarded daily. To mitigate waste, some establishments implement end-of-day discounts, while others utilize digital platforms, such as the Crumbs application in Zagreb, to sell surplus food packages at reduced prices.
