>LeanPath Announces Royal Caribbean International Launch of
>ValuWaste(R) Food Waste Reduction Process
>Leading Cruise Line Aims to Reduce Food Waste in Galleys of World's
>Largest Cruise Ship
>
>PORTLAND, Ore. & MIAMI
>LeanPath, Inc. (www.leanpath.com) today announced the implementation
>of the ValuWaste® food waste reduction solution with Royal Caribbean
>International (www.royalcaribbean.com). Royal Caribbean recently
>launched the ValuWaste program aboard Freedom of the Seas, the largest
>and most innovative cruise ship in the world. LeanPath, founded in
>2004, is a consulting and technology development company that delivers
>products and services to the hospitality and food service industries
>to reduce food costs and impact sustainability initiatives.
>
>For the first time, the cruise line will measure all pre-consumer food
>waste generated during production of as many as 18,000 meals per day.
>ValuWaste has been installed in galleys and production areas on five
>decks of the ship. Crew members will use ValuWaste tracking equipment
>to record data on diverse meal types, including formal dinners and
>buffet service. Royal Caribbean will use the information from data
>processed by the ValuWaste software to optimize production practices
>and reduce food waste. The cruise line implemented the ValuWaste
>solution to drive efficiency and further contribute to sustainability
>in the ship's culinary operations.
>
>"Royal Caribbean consistently focuses on environmentally sound and
>sustainable practices," said Frank Weber, Royal Caribbean Vice
>President of Food and Beverage Operations. "When we learned of new
>tools by LeanPath that could help us take food waste reduction to a
>new level on Freedom of the Seas, we recognized an opportunity to
>complement our existing efforts, enhance our understanding of on-board
>food waste, and make changes with real impact."
>
>"This deployment highlights the opportunity to address food waste
>everywhere - even at sea," said Andrew Shakman, CEO of LeanPath.
>"Royal Caribbean set a new standard with the launch of Freedom of the
>Seas and it makes tremendous sense for the most sophisticated ship to
>use ValuWaste, the most advanced waste reduction tools and procedures
>available."
