Half of annual food waste could help the environment

Original: Nearly half of 10 million ton food waste generated annually could help save environment

New reporting suggests that nearly half of the roughly 10 million tons of food waste generated each year could be repurposed in ways that benefit the environment, such as composting, energy recovery or recycling into useful materials. The finding highlights food waste as an underused resource rather than just a disposal problem, and it is drawing attention as governments and businesses face pressure to cut emissions and landfill use.

Why now: Food waste reduction is a growing environmental priority as sustainability pressures mount globally.
