Managing Food Waste in New York
June 4, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
New York is taking food waste off the menu. Why?
• It’s expensive: Food waste costs businesses nearly $2 billion in lost profits.
• It’s unnecessary: One-third of all food produced globally never gets eaten.
• It’s a missed opportunity: Organic waste is a valuable resource that could fuel a more sustainable, circular economy.
• It’s the law: Effective on January 1, 2022, New York will become the sixth state in the United States to mandate food waste from certain businesses to be diverted from landfills.
