![]() ![]() ![]() The film captures the heart and soul of what personally drives Whiley as he tirelessly educates and develops his unique supply chain of waste products and by-products from the daily running of local Sydney businesses. We have a responsibility to look hard at what we’re not using and find ways to make it desirable, and the time is now” says Matt Whiley. Food waste costs our economies billions per year as more than five million tonnes of food ends up in landfill meaning one in five bags of groceries winds up in the bin. “Re is living, breathing, proof that bars and restaurants can not only deliver high-quality food and beverage in a more sustainable way, but can also make businesses more profitable in doing so. Using his laboratory onsite at Re, Whiley converts by-products from local cafes, restaurants and producers that others would consider imperfect, unfit for service date or straight-up scrap into delicious cocktails and bar snacks. His acclaimed London bar, Scout, pioneered the use of hyperlocal and foraged produce, and when launching his most recent venue, Re, in South Eveleigh in Sydney, he’s taking it a step further by creating the world’s first zero-waste bar, literally built on waste. Whiley is challenging bars, restaurants and producers to rethink what they know about waste. Until now.ĭirected by Kaius Potter, with the support of Ketel One, creative production company Winifred produced a launch film documenting the first step in the ‘Never Wasted’ program a ground-breaking sustainability movement driven by the globally acclaimed bartender, Matt Whiley. But for industries that are built on delivering premium food and drink experiences using the freshest produce, there’s an inherent paradox that has prevented the industry from inciting lasting change. For the hospitality industry, there’s mounting tension for bars and restaurants to positively change their food waste footprint. The only way a team is taking Westbrook is if he comes with a draft pick or probably two.Food waste is a serious issue. I'm sure fellow GMs are blowing up Pelinka's phone to inquire about the services of a $47 million sixth man who has played well for about a week. Hey, everyone, teams are calling about wants Russ! They love his play off the bench! You better come get him while he's still available! I'm putting this last because this feels like nothing more than a half-hearted, completely see-through attempt by the Lakers to drum up some kind of false leverage as they continue to hope they can send Westbrook elsewhere without having to eat a two-draft-pick tax. With Russell Westbrook thriving in his new role as a sixth man, the Lakers are now receiving calls about his availability, sources say, but talks are not at a serious stage. The last piece of news that Haynes included in his report was that the Lakers are actually getting inquiries from opposing teams as to the availability of Russell Westbrook. Those conversations have not taken place, sources say. For any dialogue of that nature to occur, his agent, Rich Paul, would have received calls from interested teams inquiring if Davis would agree to an extension if they traded for him. According to Haynes, that's not an option the Lakers are considering at this point.Īnd while it's been a talking point on social media, the Lakers are not considering trading Davis, according to sources. Recently there have been some rumblings - a social media "talking point," as Haynes calls it - that the Lakers might be open to trading Anthony Davis. But realistically, how much longer can that be the case? LeBron is still playing at a championship level, his early season shooting struggles notwithstanding. According to Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes, James "does not want to waste a season of his high-level playing days in hopes of incoming reinforcements for the 2023-24 campaign." This is understandable. LeBron, for his part, reportedly isn't too keen on this plan of procrastination. Especially in his 20th season.Īt this point, the Lakers' plan might very well be to limp through the rest of the season and go into the summer with near-max cap space, their 20 first-round picks in their pocket (and a 2023 first-round pick that will be eligible to trade on draft night, once a pick swap is executed with New Orleans), and Russell Westbrook off the books. ![]() But there's a reasonable line of thinking that even an outside shot is worth taking when you have LeBron James on your roster. It's pretty clear that Rob Pelinka doesn't believe the potential additions of Buddy Hield and/or Myles Turner from Indiana would be enough to vault the Lakers into contention. With each passing day, the chances of the Lakers making a significant trade this season feel more unlikely. ![]()
