"A small meat bag, a small dish bag..." In the morning, Jiading District People's Government staff Gao Chang to the unit canteen after breakfast, opened a busy day. "In the past, a big meat bun and an egg could fill the belly. Since the unit practiced the' CD action' and continued to optimize related measures, there have been more and more choices."
At noon, in the cafeteria of the comprehensive office building of the People's Government of Jiading District, a continuous stream of government staff came to dine. In addition to the notice board of "Civilized Table Clean Your Plate Campaign to Save Food" placed on each table and beside the window in the canteen, the electronic screen of the canteen also prominently wrote the slogan of "Practise Thrift, Oppose Waste, Everyone Participate, Clean Your Plate Campaign".
"I want a piece of rice." "We have 2, 4, and 6 two or three specifications. Which one do you want?" Products, further enrich the available types.
"We feel that everyone's awareness of saving is getting stronger and stronger. The data shows that the food waste in the canteen has been reduced by about 30% compared to before the CD-ROM operation." Li Zengqing, director of the Jiading District Agency Affairs Comprehensive Management Center, said that taking on demand and reducing waste has gradually become everyone's conscious behavior.
To ensure a more precise supply of dishes, this year, the district level government cafeteria in Jiading District has launched a small pot stir frying service, with segmented and small quantities served multiple times, which not only meets everyone's needs but also reduces waste.
"We will dynamically adjust the serving time based on the actual number of diners on that day," said Wang Wei, the project manager of Shanghai Xinyingyuan Catering Co., Ltd., the cafeteria operator. "For example, if we estimate that 800 people will come to eat, we will prepare a quantity of 700 people first. When we find that the dishes are almost out of stock, but someone still comes in to eat, the kitchen will continue to stir fry them in a small pot. Currently, vegetarian dishes are stir fried every ten minutes."
In terms of raw materials and seasoning, the district level government cafeteria in Jiading District implements a centralized and unified procurement mechanism to reasonably reduce and optimize costs. We will do a good job of statistics, and if there are too many ingredients left this month, we will reduce the purchase volume next month. Wang Wei stated that seasoning used to be in small bottles, but now we will purchase large bottles of seasoning and prepare the amount of seasoning and oil according to the plan, so that chefs can apply according to the procedure, in order to further save costs and reduce waste.
The cafeteria also fully transforms scraps into treasures, achieving savings in the kitchen and ingredients. For example, some vegetable stems are made into delicious Pickled vegetables, and the leftovers of pork are boiled into lard.
In the garbage disposal area behind the cafeteria, the reporter saw a microbial organic waste processor. After the biological operation of this machine, kitchen waste is transformed into organic fertilizer, which can be directly used for unit greening fertilization, achieving resource recycling.
