  2. Actinolite Restaurant (Canada): Water waste and power reduction systems at this Toronto restaurant include saving vegetable-washing water to use on the herb garden and plants, and heating water on the pilot stove of the oven overnight if using the next day.

  3. Bean & Wheat (UK): At London-based restaurant Bean & Wheat, leftover coffee grounds are used to make soap which is then supplied in the restaurant.

  4. 80/20bkk (Thailand): Bangkok's 80/20bkk uses leftover liquid from fermenting to clean the kitchen floors and sink.

  5. ámaZ (Peru): Lima's ámaZ is the first restaurant in the world to be FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, which states that the wooden floors, ceilings, bar and structure of the restaurant comes from responsibly-managed forests.
