🌱 NSW Businesses: Are You Ready for the New Food Waste Mandates? 🌱 From 1 July 2025, large supermarkets, hospitality venues, and institutions (e.g., schools, hospitals) will need to comply with mandatory food organics (FO) collections, with phased rollouts based on waste volume. Key requirements include: ✅ Providing sufficient bins for organics. ✅ Ensuring organics aren’t mixed with general waste during transport. 🚨 Non-compliance could lead to penalties and fines. These changes are a chance for businesses to innovate and adopt sustainable waste management practices. Let’s work together towards a greener NSW! 🌏

The festive season (One month to go.. Sorry....!) is one of the busiest times of the year for food businesses. With kitchens in overdrive to meet demand, the amount of food waste skyrockets.

This Christmas, let’s think differently: 🍽️ Plan menus strategically to reduce overordering. ♻️ Explore recycling options to repurpose food waste. 🌍 Consider donating surplus food to those in need. Small changes can make a big impact. How is your business managing food waste this season? Share your tips below!

Over 30 countries have pledged to tackle methane emissions from organic waste, a vital step towards meeting the Global Methane Pledge to cut emissions by 30% by 2030. With food loss and waste contributing 8-10% of annual greenhouse gas emissions—and landfill methane accounting for 3% of the global total—the urgency is clear. For Australia, this presents a significant opportunity. As a country with a strong agricultural and food industry, we can lead the way by: ✅ Reducing food waste through smarter production and consumption. ✅ Diverting unavoidable waste from landfills to alternative processing systems. ✅ Investing in innovative solutions that transform waste into resources, supporting climate and sustainability goals. Methane reduction isn’t just a global challenge—it’s a national one, and Australia has the tools to rise to it. By integrating food waste management into our climate strategies, we can make a meaningful impact for the planet and future generations. #COP29 #MethaneReduction #Sustainability #Australia

In today’s world, managing food waste isn’t just a checkbox for sustainability - it’s an operational challenge with real impact on costs, compliance, and brand integrity. Many businesses are dealing with mountains of food waste and may not realize the silent burdens it creates daily. Think about storage costs: how much valuable space is tied up with waste that’s waiting to be hauled away? Then there’s the expense and environmental toll of transportation itself, not to mention rising landfill costs that can cut into margins. For many businesses, regulatory compliance has become a juggling act, especially as governments push for more sustainable waste management solutions. Non-compliance isn’t just a slap on the wrist; it’s potential fines, negative publicity, and damage to public perception. And what about the missed opportunities? By sending food waste straight to landfill, businesses might be missing out on the potential to turn that waste into something beneficial—something that not only reduces their carbon footprint but could actually enhance their own operations, like improving soil health on their grounds or supporting local ecosystems. It's time for leaders to start asking: Is there a way to turn these costs into a benefit? Can food waste be a resource rather than a liability? Can we be the change! These questions lead them to systems that are built not just for waste reduction but for meaningful environmental impact. The journey starts with recognising the hidden costs—financial and ethical—of current waste practices and exploring how an innovative approach can turn the problem of food waste into a powerful, positive change for both the business and the environment. #FoodWaste #FoodRecycling #Sustainability
