We aimed to contribute to vocational training, adult learning, and the business catering sector by creating new digital tools in education with Zero Waste outcomes. These educational tools sholud provide enhanced learning in Zero waste subjects and at the same time create and improve business models towards Zero waste principles. Creating the "CaterinLAb" application, "CateringLab" e guide, and "CaterinLab" video guide we will raise knowledge and awareness for many students, restaurant managers, farmers, and end-users to work and to live by Zero Waste principles. Innovative Zero Waste CateringLab application should enable the connection of local producers, restaurants, and catering products consumers.

That is why it formed a consortium of experienced partners from the hospitality education sector at the level of vocational schools, adult education, and private entrepreneurs and associations in the hospitality industry to jointly research, create, test, and put into use new digital tools
