This Founder Knows Consolidation Of Food Waste Will Be A Big Part Of The Future

The 24th April saw #stopfoodwaste day. A day of action to fight against global food waste. We can all do our bit to reduce our own food waste. However, it is not all bad news as at Vista Recycling we send fruit and vegetables lost or wasted to feed anaerobic digestion plants. This food gets macerated and produces gas which can been used in a main gas supply or to power turbines to produce electricity. #globalfoodwaste, #anaerobicdigestion.

MyWaste urges citizens and businesses to recycle food waste. Food waste needs to be fully separated from all packaging to prevent contamination at compost and anaerobic digestion facilities. This practice ultimately results in the production of higher quality material for recycling. For more information visit www.mywaste.ie #CircularLiving #NFWRW24

Did you know that reducing farm food waste could have a significant impact on the availability of land in the UK? 🌾 According to recent studies, a significant portion of agricultural land in the UK is used to produce food that ultimately goes to waste. By tackling food waste at source, we have the opportunity to unlock valuable land resources.

Food waste consumes an immense amount of water. 🚰 Reducing food waste will help improve food security and alleviate the pressure on water resources that have been used to produce it. It is estimated that the water footprint of food loss and waste accounts for 12%–15% of the total global water footprint. 💧 The world is slowly paying more attention to the problem: FAO’s 2019 report on the State of Food and Agriculture was even fully dedicated to the issue of food loss and waste. 📊 Still, a large amount of food is wasted every year: 37% by weight and 25% by calories of food produced globally for human consumption is estimated to be lost. 🌍 Hence, considering food waste is vital when working on a water-secure future. Significant water savings can be achieved on this front. 💦 What do you think?
