Abstract: In an era of growing environmental awareness, the HoReCa industry faces significant challenges in waste management. This paper explores the complexity of this issue and analyses the solutions proposed by experts to transform this industry into an agent of sustainability. Issues such as abundant food waste, single-use packaging, and inadequate recycling are discussed, highlighting the increased pressure on resources in the digital age. Despite these challenges, opportunities for innovation in practices, packaging, and community collaborations are emphasized.
Keywords: management, waste, research.
