Back-of-house waste challenges in hospitality

From cardboard packaging to plastic wrap and general black bag waste, waste builds up fast in restaurants, hotels, and cafés. When bins overflow and back-of-house areas get cluttered, it doesn’t just look bad – it costs time, space, and money.

📌 As waste piles up, operations start to suffer, and customer impressions go downhill fast…

Waste isn’t just a cleanliness issue – it’s a hidden cost

Poor waste handling affects time, space, and profit.

By installing Mil-tek equipment where waste is generated, hospitality businesses benefit from:

  • Less internal transport of waste
  • Fewer overflowing bins and better hygiene
  • Cleaner, safer working conditions
  • More space in kitchens, corridors and storage
  • Faster turnaround and better service flow
