Why it matters

By donating and/or composting food waste, your business can help reduce the amount of food waste sent to landfills. Rotting food in landfills releases methane which is 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide.By donating excess food, you could support local charitable organisations. By composting food, the nutrients are recycled and made available to support the growth of more food reducing the need for environmentally costly fertilisers.
