What Happens to Our Food Waste?

On a weekday afternoon, we had lunch at a restaurant — a delicious chicken stew.

Then we peeked in the kitchen, where the chef, Lee Hae-yeon, put our leftovers in a designated bin, separated from the other trash.

It’s an extra step to Lee’s routine. But he was happy to comply: “I think this is the best way to deal with the food waste,” he told us.
