Creating Culinary Masterpieces From Waste: A Journey of Sustainability at the London Heathrow Marriott
The Food Waste Lab
The Food Waste Lab is a creative hub where the culinary team repurposes food waste. Banana peels become chocolate chip cakes, watermelon skins transform into curry, and dried avocado stones are brewed into tea. More than just a kitchen, it showcases the hotel’s commitment to sustainability, offering guests, clients, and booking agents a glimpse into its waste reduction efforts.
More Taste Less Waste
Our "More Taste Less Waste" initiative takes sustainable cuisine further. Held weekly in the M-Club lounge, it features inventive dishes made from food waste. Guests engage with the culinary team, learning about sustainability while sampling eco-friendly dishes. This celebration proves that responsible dining can be both delicious and zero waste.
Upcycling Food Waste
Beyond culinary dishes, we creatively upcycle food waste into fragrant, handcrafted soaps made from used coffee grounds and citrus peels. These unique gifts highlight the potential of items that would typically be discarded. By showing that waste can be transformed into something beautiful and useful, this upcycling practice brings sustainable hospitality to life.
Roftop Greenhouse
The Green House on our roof is a thriving space filled with fresh herbs and vegetables, all carefully cultivated for use in our kitchen. This sustainable, on-site garden ensures that our dishes feature the freshest ingredients while reducing our carbon footprint.
Hydroponic System
Our hydroponic system allows us to grow fresh, nutrient-rich herbs and vegetables without soil, using water and specialised nutrients. This efficient, sustainable method reduces water usage and maximises space, producing high-quality, homegrown ingredients right on site.

Sustainable Supplier Practices
We choose suppliers who prioritize waste reduction, energy efficiency, and ethical standards. Our food sourcing supports local farmers and seasonal produce to cut carbon emissions. Non-food items are eco-friendly, and we work with waste management for recycling and composting. Our practices are continually improved to contribute to a sustainable future.
