Millennium Hotels Battle Against Food Waste – Fighting One Plate At A Time

Singapore, 21 March 2025 – Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR), Singapore’s leading global hotel operator, is setting even higher targets in 2025 against food waste, following its success in achieving significant savings from recycling efforts in 2024.

Across its six properties in Singapore, MHR last year recycled nearly 100,000 kg of food waste into greywater—an environmentally safe by-product of food waste digesters—reducing the load on incineration plants and landfill space.

The hotel operator also saved almost 500 kg of surplus food by selling it at a discount through a social enterprise mobile application. This reduced the amount of waste sent to the digester by over 2 tonnes annually, equivalent to at least 3,100 meals, reinforcing MHR’s policy on waste reduction.
