This amount is equivalent to approximately 1,120 to 1,290 meal portions that were prevented from ending up as waste. The success of the initiative also attracted the attention of the canteen’s operator, Delirest, which is now considering the adoption of the campaign's educational materials across its dining facilities throughout the Czech Republic.
