Understanding the Need for Food Waste Management
Food waste is a pressing global challenge, with millions of tons of edible and non-edible food discarded every year. Incorrect disposal of food waste not only transfers landfills, but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane, which is more harmful than carbon dioxide. Besides environmental damage, the wastage of food represents a loss of water, energy, labor, and natural resources used during its production. As businesses work toward sustainable growth, implementing efficient food waste management is key to reducing their ecological footprint and aligning with global sustainability goals.
