21.01.2022 Running business operations more efficiently IS part of being sustainable and IS more profitable. So why is change so slow to occur? Our mission is to get in the shoes of hospitality legends, from kitchen hands to managers and find solutions tailored to their needs. ... Our goals are focused around tackling food waste, addressing plastic packaging and supplies, improve recycling practices and lowering GHG emissions #sustainability #hospitality #sustainablehospitality

20.01.2022 We began this journey with the vision to help to restore harmony and balance to life on this Earth Now profit may be a long way off as we have only just begun, but we see our commitment as the flame that ignites our vision into reality. So here it is: We are committed to planting a tree for every hospitality business we work with, to help combat climate change through the OG carbon capture technique ... We are also committed to donating 50% of all ECS’s profits (when they come ) to clean plastic pollution from both marine and terrestrial environments and support wildlife impacted by pollution. #sustainablehospitality #sustainability #plasticfree #saveouroceans #savetheturtles #planttrees

20.01.2022 We are passion-filled Earthlings for food and plants (and the trees!) So, we figured why not build a life around both? Joining the forces of efficiency and data analytics gave birth to Earth Cycle Solutions! Our idea is to bring sustainable practices into ALL hospitality operations in economically viable ways Our values, passion, honesty and understanding, lie at the heart of this idea, governing our choices and direction... Let’s get the party started

12.01.2022 Can I have ice with that? Have you ever stopped to think about the value of ice? It can often be overlooked because it is ‘just’ water, right? It’s hard to imagine the value of something without comparison.... Most of us can appreciate the ‘cost’ of electricity though, with the concept of turning the lights off being drilled into us when growing up The energy to make 1 ice cube from a commercial ice cube maker, found in most bars and restaurants, is equivalent to running one LED light bulb for 19 min, which is 2.5 g of CO2 equiv. Numbers can be a good way to give us perspective: 1 ice cube = 19 min of light A dozen ice cubes with your coke? That 228 min, so 3.8 hours How about 50 ice cubes to make your cocktail? That’s 950 min, or 15.8 hours now that’s a chilling thought! Calculations Average weight of ice cube =15 g = 0.015 kg No. of cubes produced in 60 kg of ice = (60 kg)/(0.015 kg) = 4000 cubes Average* energy of a 60 kgday ice cube maker = 528 W = 0.528 kW Energy used per day = 0.528 kW 24 hr =12.66 kWh Energy used per cube = (12.66 kWh)/(4000 cube) = 0.00317 kWh/cube GHG emissions** produced per kWh = 0.790 kg of CO2 equiv. GHG emissions produced per cube = 0.790 kg of CO2 equiv. kWh 0.00317 kWhcube = 2.5 g of CO2 equiv.cube The energy to produce one cube of ice is equal to one LED light on for..? Average energy of LED bulb =10 W = 0.01 kW Energy = 0.00317 kWh 0.00317 kWh = 0.01 kW Time (h) Time = (0.00317 kWh)/(0.01 kW) = 0.317 h x 60 min/h =19.0 min 12 cubes of ice= 19 min 12 = (228 min)/(60 min/h) = 3.8 hrs 50 cubes of ice =19 min 50 = (950 min)/(60 min/h) =15.8 hrs * Average energy https://www.mattysequipment.com.au/skipio-sim-75a-ice-maker https://www.mattysequipment.com.au/scotsman-ecm-107-106-as- https://www.hospitalitysuperstore.com.au/brema-ice-machine- https://www.sydneycommercialkitchens.com.au//brema-65-kg-1 ** https://carbonneutral.com.au/carbon-calculator/ #ice #cocktails #sustainablehospitality

01.01.2022 Need an excuse to go down to the pub? A schooner of beer produces 68 375 times less GHG emissions than a bottle sent to landfill. Following the waste hierarchy, that is refuse, reuse, recycle the most sustainable thing to do for the environment would be to give up the ale, and let’s be honest, that’s simply not an option for most Australians ... Empty beer kegs get sent back to the brewers to be refilled, in other words - reused making beer on tap the next ‘best’ thing Recycling your glass bottle creates 300 to 750 g of CO2 equiv., which is 1.5 to 3.3 times less GHG emissions than if your bottle went to landfill So, if you really must crack open a stubby, make sure to put your empty bottles in the yellow bin. Better yet, did you know that the Return & Earn scheme is now in NSW? That’s right! Since 2017 you can now get money back for your recycling efforts Sustainability has never looked so refreshing Poore, J. and Nemecek, T., 2018.
