Blog: Food For Thought (And Not For Landfill)

Today, more than a third of worldwide food production is lost or wasted each year, amounting to about 1.3 billion tons of waste food. Without change, experts predict that waste may grow to as much as 70% of all food by the year 2050. Digital technology must play a central role in identifying and preventing possible avenues of food waste. It’s for this reason that we believe onsite biodigesters will play a key role in the future of food waste management. 

The SEC has unveiled a historic climate disclosure rules for companies. It would require businesses to report their (Scope 1) greenhouse gas emissions, how climate-related risks impact their business, and more.

Scope 3 emissions amount to 80% to 90% of an organization’s overall emissions, making this an excellent opportunity for action. By reducing food purchasing and mitigating off-site food waste disposal, companies can make a sizable dent in this scope 3 emissions category and their operational carbon footprint.

In this blog, we compare the cost of traditional waste management against a biodigester investment and lay bare the true cost of biodigester ownership.

The world is on fire and it is only going to get worse as global warming continues to heat up. Here are three reasons why reducing food waste is vital in combating climate change.

Food waste is one of the biggest issues that maritime vessels are still struggling to deal with. We review and compare food pulpers against biodigesters as food waste solutions.

At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26 summit) in Glasgow this past week, there was much emphasis on the need to reduce methane emissions. If your business serves, processes, or distributes food, you could be inadvertently contributing to methane emissions, resulting in your organization having a very high carbon footprint. Here's how to reduce your carbon footprint and impact on the environment.

A recent TikTok video called out Chik-fil-a for dumping excess chicken nuggets at the end of the day. However, Chik-fil-a isn't the only restaurant chain where food waste is an issue. U.S. restaurants contribute an estimated 22 to 33 billion pounds to the food waste problem every year, a problem with tremendous environmental impacts. Chain restaurants should consider this multi-pronged approach to managing their food waste.
