Evaluation of intake leftovers of a university restaurant in Francisco Beltrão-PR, |
- 300 Meals (Lunch) |
On average, the intake leftovers per capita was 300 g (8.1 kg of leftovers in 268.20 meals served), making it possible to feed 16 people per day. |
Although the intake leftovers are at an acceptable level according to literature, it is important to carry out awareness campaigns and optimization measures in order to reduce the financial losses for the FNU. |

Quantification of solid waste in an FNU of a metallurgical company in Marau - RS |
- 281 meals |
In 5 days, 134,925 g of solid food waste (95.89 g/person) and 27,114 g of non-food waste (19.27 g/person) were generated. Of the total, 32.17% were generated in pre-preparation; 21.21% via intake leftovers; 19.21% from the dirty leftovers; 18.80% was non-food waste; and 7.90% was clean leftovers. |
The FNU presented an amount of solid waste per capita, lower than the values reported in the literature, but the waste control must be constantly applied. |

Evaluation of the leftover intake index of patients and companions in a hospital FNU in Pato Branco - PR |
- 280 to 350 Meals |
After four days, the average leftover intake was 20.80% (equivalent to 137 grams per individual), a value very close to the ideal for patients (20%). |
When comparing the obtained result with the recommended one, it is clear that the index is above but at an acceptable value. |

Quantification of intake leftovers from a sick and healthy community in a hospital FNU, in Southwestern Paraná. |
- 77 meals |
For the healthy community, a total of 44.19% (44.71 Kg / day) of leftovers was observed. In relation to the sick community, the wasted value was 19.02 kg/day (28.36% of the rest consumed). These leftovers could feed 417 and 148 people, respectively. |
The values obtained are much higher than acceptable (above 10%). Thus, there is a need for more elaborate planning on the amount of food offered to diners, staff training and improvements in the presentation of meals. |

The average waste generation index was 59.3 g/meal, where the return resulted in the greatest contribution (19.6 g/meal), while the clean leftover was 12.5 g/meal. |
The high amount of organic waste generated indicates that the steps of returning the trays, pre-preparation, and clean leftovers should be prioritized to minimize waste. |

Quantification and evaluation of the cost of clean leftovers in eight FNUs of a steel company, in Ipatinga - MG |
- 18,000 meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner 1 and 2; snack 1 and 2) |
The total per capita of clean leftovers ranged between 24 g and 60 g, corresponding to 176 kg to 1,213 kg of food wasted monthly. The monthly cost of leftovers reached 2.2% to 3% of the monthly amount spent on food, representing a cost of 80 to 108 minimum salaries. |
Considerable loss of food was observed. Implementing interventions can minimize this loss. The amount spent on this waste could be reverted to improvements in production processes. |

The lack of awareness of the diners generated high losses for the institution, which is proven through the results obtained in this study. |
