Why Recycle Food Waste?
Food manufacturing and processing industries generate significant amounts of food waste. From expired raw materials and production by-products to off-spec, expired, or compromised food items, the need for proper disposal methods has never been more crucial. If your business is grappling with the challenge of managing large volumes of food waste, understanding the importance and methods of food waste recycling can help you navigate this complex issue while contributing to environmental sustainability.
Improper disposal of food waste can lead to serious environmental consequences, such as greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and contamination of water bodies. By recycling food waste, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to Singapore’s efforts to achieve its zero-waste goal by 2030.
