FOOD WASTE AND ITS IMPACT ON LANDFILLS

Source: epa.gov

Food waste is the greatest contributor to landfill, combustion and incineration

22% of the total according to the EPA

In addition, 16% of methane emissions come from landfills

Methane has a 28-36 times higher warming potential than carbon dioxide over a 100 year period

RECYCLABLE, BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE –

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

RECYCLABLE BIODEGRADABLE COMPOSTABLEA material that is recovered from waste and turned into

something new

A material that will eventually breakdown

A material that will breakdown in a specified timeframe and be safely

used in agriculture

Compostable Packaging

WHAT IS COMPOSTABILITY?

Relatively low temperatures Requires individual maintenance Immediately accessible for individuals Generally not suitable for many packages

Home Compostable

Controlled to maintain temperatures over 90°F Regularly turned to ensure aerobic conditions Typically permitted by local municipalities Certifications available for packaging

WHY COMPOST?

Source: epa.gov

We’ve all heard it’s green, but why?

Diverts food waste typically sent to landfills

Reduces methane emissions from landfills lowering GHG equivalents

Enriches soil, helps retain moisture and reduces plant disease

Decreases chemical fertilizer demand

Encourages production of beneficial bacteria

Compost Manufacturing Alliance, BPI, and Food Service Packaging Institute Study

Typical compost is 2-10% packaging Study tested 15 and 30% packaging No negative impact on resultant compost Packaging acts as a carbon source

and bulking agent Process optimization may be required

for disintegration
