Sustainability
Leading The Way In Sustainable Catering
At Showthyme, we believe that great food and sustainability should go hand in hand. As the film and TV industry moves towards greener productions, we are committed to providing eco-friendly catering solutions that help reduce the environmental impact of on-set meals. From responsible ingredient sourcing to minimising food waste, our sustainability efforts are designed to support productions that prioritise a greener future.
Our Approach…
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We actively seek ways to lower our carbon footprint by implementing environmentally responsible practices across all aspects of our tv and film catering service.
- Locally Sourced Ingredients: We prioritise seasonal, organic and locally sourced produce to support regional farmers and reduce food miles.
- Energy-Efficient Cooking: Our kitchens operate with energy-efficient appliances and cooking methods, contributing towards lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Wherever possible, we use biodegradable and compostable packaging, eliminating unnecessary plastic waste from our catering services.
Reducing Waste
Food waste is a major concern in the catering industry, and we take proactive measures to minimise waste on film and TV sets.
- Smart Portion Control: We carefully plan meals to reduce overproduction and waste without compromising on quality, quantity or individual portion size!
- On-Set Recycling & Composting: We work with productions to establish food waste bins, recycling stations and composting initiatives, making it easy for crews to dispose of waste responsibly.
- Food Donation Programmes: Any excess food that meets safety standards is donated to local charities or community projects, helping to benefit those in need.
